Re-identifying Anonymous Nodes
نویسندگان
چکیده
In mobile scenarios, privacy is an aspect of growing importance. In order to avoid the creation of movement profiles, participating nodes change their identifying properties on a regular basis in order to hide their identities and stay anonymous. The drawback of this action is that nodes which previously had a connection have no means to recognise this fact. A complete re-authentication would be necessary – if possible at all. This paper discusses this new problem and proposes two possible solutions for re-identification of anonymous nodes, one based on symmetric encryption and one based on secure hashes.

Rethinking $(k,\ell)$-anonymity in social graphs: $(k,\ell)$-adjacency anonymity and $(k,\ell)$-(adjacency) anonymous transformations
This paper treats the privacy-preserving publication of social graphs in the presence of active adversaries, that is, adversaries with the ability to introduce sybil nodes in the graph prior to publication and leverage them to create unique fingerprints for a set of victim nodes and re-identify them after publication. Stemming from the notion of (k, l)-anonymity, we introduce (k, l)-anonymous t...
متن کاملBetrayed By My Shadow: Learning Data Identity via Trail Matching
The term “re-identification” refers to the correct relation of seemingly anonymous data to explicitly identifying information, such as the name or address, of people who are the subjects of the data. Historically, methods for re-identification have been based on data released from a single data holder. This paper extends the concept to trail re-identification in which a person is related to see...
متن کاملA Resilient P2P Anonymous Routing Approach Employing Collaboration Scheme
Node churn is a hindrance to construction of P2P-based anonymous networks, which makes anonymous paths fragile and results in message losses and communication failures. A collaboration scheme combining Friendly Neighbor-based Incentive (FNI) and Re-encryption mechanism is proposed to deal with the high node churn characteristic of P2P networks. The FNI mechanism encourages peers to forward othe...
متن کاملTrail Re-Identification: Learning Who You Are From Where You Have Been
This paper provides algorithms for learning the identities of individuals from the trails of seemingly anonymous information they leave behind. Consider online consumers, who have the IP addresses of their computers logged at each website visited. Many falsely believe they cannot be identified. The term “reidentification” refers to correctly relating seemingly anonymous data to explicitly ident...
