Blocking of IPs in a Heterogeneous Network
Vaddi Sukanya, S Tirupathi Rao · 2013
The most important thing to attain over the anonymous communications networks is to communicate privately over the Internet. However, in doing so, anonymous communications networks introduce an entirely new problem for the service providers, since all anonymous users look alike; there is no way for the service providers to hold individual misbehaving anonymous users accountable for their actions. In this paper, we introduce the concept of IP’S blocking where unauthorized IPs are blacklisted. Therefore, before we discuss the existing approaches in detail, we first propose a formal definition for anonymous blacklisting systems, and a set of security and privacy properties that these systems should possess.
