Managing NymBoxes for Identity and Tracking Protection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Despite the attempts of well-designed anonymous communication tools to protect users from tracking or identification, flaws in surrounding software (such as web browsers) and mistakes in configuration may leak the user’s identity. We introduce Nymix, an anonymitycentric operating system architecture designed “top-tobottom” to strengthen identityand tracking-protection. Nymix’s core contribution is OS support for nymbrowsing: independent, parallel, and ephemeral web sessions. Each web session, or pseudonym, runs in a unique virtual machine (VM) instance evolving from a common base state with support for long-lived sessions which can be anonymously stored to the cloud, avoiding de-anonymization despite potential confiscation or theft. Nymix allows a user to safely browse the Web using various different transports simultaneously through a pluggable communication model that supports Tor, Dissent, and a private browsing mode. In evaluations, Nymix consumes 600 MB per nymbox and loads within 15 to 25 seconds.

The problem of tracking multiple targets and managing their identities in sensor networks is considered. Each sensor is assumed to have its own surveillance region and an ability to communicate with its neighboring sensors.We propose a scalable, distributed, multitarget-tracking and identity-management algorithm that can track an unknown number of targets and manage their identities efficiently...
متن کاملMultiple-Target Tracking and Identity Management with Application to Aircraft Tracking
The problem of tracking and managing the identities of multiple targets is discussed and applied to the passive radar tracking of aircraft. The targets are assumed to be commercial aircraft switchingmodes during flight, and are thus well modeled by hybrid systems. We propose a computationally efficient algorithm based on joint probabilistic data association for target-measurement correlation. W...

In this paper, we consider the problem of tracking multiple targets and managing their identities in sensor networks. Each sensor is assumed to be able to track multiple targets, manage the identities of targets within its surveillance region, and communicate with its neighboring sensors. The problem is complicated by the fact that the number of targets within the surveillance region of a senso...
متن کاملDiversity management and human resources productivity: Mediating effects of perceived organizational attractiveness, organizational justice and social identity in Isfahan’s steel industry
Acknowledged by most researchers and scholars, human resource productivity is the most important factor in the resistive economy and business. On the other hand, Workforce diversity is one of the major challenges of this century; and perhaps for managers, managing diversity is more important than seeking diversity to maximize the human resource productivity. The present study aims to analyze th...
