چکیده

This paper describes the design, implementation, analysis, and evaluation of a Practical Buses protocol for anonymous network communication. The protocol, based on the metaphor of a city bus, provides connection anonymity for Internet-based communication. We modify the original Buses protocol from the literature to provide receiver anonymity, strengthen security, and improve efficiency and scalability. Our prototype is tested in a LAN scenario. Preliminary performance results show that the Practical Buses protocol is promising.

Performance modelling of anonymity protocols

Anonymous network communication protocols provide privacy for Internetbased communication. In this paper, we focus on the performance and scalability of anonymity protocols. In particular, we develop performance models for two anonymity protocols from the prior literature (Buses and Taxis), as well as our own newly proposed protocol (Motorcycles). Using a combination of experimental implementat...

Anonymous Internet Communication Based on IPSec

Network approaches for anonymous communication have been extant for some time. Unfortunately, there are limitations with these approaches. In this paper, we first expose the limitations of existing anonymous communication networks. We then present an anonymous Internet communication technique based on IPSec. Our technique provides bi-directional, real-time anonymous Internet communication that ...

P: A Protocol for Scalable Anonymous Communication

We present a protocol for anonymous communication over the Internet. Our protocol, called P 5 (Peer-to-Peer Personal Privacy Protocol) provides sender-, receiver-, and sender-receiver anonymity. P 5 is designed to be implemented over the current Internet protocols, and does not require any special infrastructure support. A novel feature of P is that it allows individual participants to trade-of...
