Oblivious HTTP {{!OHTTP=I-D.draft-ietf-ohai-ohttp}} allows clients to encrypt
messages exchanged with an Oblivious Target Resource (target). The messages
are encapsulated in encrypted messages to an Oblivious Gateway Resource
(gateway), which gates access to the target. The gateway is accessed via an
Oblivious Relay Resource (relay), which proxies the encapsulated messages
to hide the identity of the client. Overall, this architecture is designed
in such a way that the relay cannot inspect the contents of messages, and
the gateway and target cannot learn the client's identity from a single

Clients also need to know the key configuration of a gateway before encapsulating
and sending requests to the relay.

If a client fetches the key configuration directly from the gateway, it
will expose identifiers like a client IP address to the gateway. The
privacy and security implications of fetching the key configuration are
discussed more in {{security}}. Clients can use an HTTP proxy to
hide their IP addresses when fetching key configurations. Clients can
also perform consistency checks to validate that they are not receiving
unique key configurations, as discussed in {{consistency}}.

In order to fetch the key configuration of a gateway discovered

Clients can either fetch this key configuration directly, or do so via
a proxy in order to avoid the server discovering information about the
client's identity. See {{consistency}} for more discussion of avoiding key
targeting attacks.
