Query Forwarding Algorithm Supporting Initiator Anonymity in GNUnet
Kohei Tatara, Y. Hori, Kouichi Sakurai · 2006
Anonymity in Peer-to-Peer network means that it is diffi- cult to associate a particular communication with a sender or a recipient. Recently, anonymous Peer-to-Peer framework, called GNUnet, was developed. A primary feature of GNUnet is resistance to traffic-analysis. However, K¨ugler analyzed a routing protocol in GNUnet, and pointed out traceability of initiator. In this paper, we propose an alternative routing protocol applicable in GNUnet, which is resistant to K¨ugler’s shortcut Attacks.
