Abstract

Since internet is widely used these days , users privacy has become the main concern. Privacy is related to anonymity .Basic requirement for anonymity is to unlink the user’s identity to specific activities such as in a untraceable e-cash system and P2P payment systems. To provide anonymity various techniques are made use of such as identity based cryptography, blind messages, pseudonyms and ticket based protocol. But only the use of cryptography will not provide with the existence of confidential communication so anonymous routing protocol used along with cryptography helps to achieve better anonymity. With the use of anonymous routing protocol multiple packets cannot be linked to have originated from the same client . Hence the real network identity will be concealed making it difficult to find the client and the confidential relationship between the parties involved in communication.

Keywords

anonymity, privacy, routing protocol, onion routing, cryptography, and pseudonym.
