Ren), jie Anonymous communications aim to preserve communications privacy within the shared public network environment. It can provide security well beyond content privacy and integrity. The scientific studies of anonymous communications are largely originated from Chaum’s two seminal approaches: mixnet and DC-net. In this paper, we present an overview of the research in this field. We start with the basic definitions of anonymous communications. We then describe the cryptographic primitives, the network protocols, and some of the representative anonymous communication systems. We also describe verifiable mixnets and their applications to electronic voting. Finally, we briefly cite some other anonymous systems. 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

متن کاملMulti-channel Medium Access Control Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks: A Survey
Extensive researches on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been performed and many techniques have been developed for the data link (MAC) layer. Most of them assume single-channel MAC protocols. In the usual dense deployment of the sensor networks, single-channel MAC protocols may be deficient because of radio collisions and limited bandwidth. Hence, using multiple channels can significantly ...
