Chaum mixes

Chaum mixes are a type of computer program that can keep things private. It does this by mixing up (or “mixing”) messages that are sent out so that it’s hard for people to know who sent each message. It’s like if you wanted to send a private message to someone, but you didn’t want anyone else to know who you were sending it to. You could use a chaum mix to help keep your message private.
