Secure Access Guide

Standard operating procedures for establishing a secure connection to the TorZon infrastructure. Follow these steps to ensure privacy and data integrity during your research.

01

01 Environment Setup

Before attempting connection, ensure your local environment is secure. Do not use standard browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) as they leak metadata.

  • Download the official Tor Browser from the project repository.
  • Disable any VPN services; Tor handles routing internally.
  • Navigate to Settings > Privacy & Security and set the security level to "Safer". This disables non-essential JavaScript.
02

02 Verified Connection

Access the network only through cryptographically signed V3 onion addresses. Using unverified indices increases the risk of man-in-the-middle attacks.

Always verify the PGP signature of the landing page against the known market key.

03

03 Identity & Recovery

When registering an account, the system will generate a cryptographic Mnemonic Phrase. This is a sequence of random words.

Critical Security Warning

There is no email recovery or password reset. You must save your Mnemonic Phrase offline. If you lose your password and your mnemonic, your account and funds are permanently inaccessible.

We strongly recommend enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) immediately after account creation using your PGP key.

04

04 PGP Encryption

Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) is mandatory for secure communication. Never send addresses or sensitive data in plain text.

  1. Generate a 4096-bit RSA key pair on your local machine.
  2. Import the Market's Public Key into your keychain.
  3. Upload your Public Key to your user profile settings.
  4. Ensure "Encrypt Messages" is checked by default in your profile preferences.
