Length controllable protocol for P2P anonymous communication
Renfa Li · Computer Engineering and Applications Journal · 2010
P2P anonymous communication system brings well scalability;however,it is still a difficult problem to trade off anonymity and efficiency.Anonymous technology makes users obtain anonymous performance but contemporary often increases communication delay and member payload,sacrifices efficiency.Based on analyzing existing anonymous communication technology,this paper proposes LCPACP,a new length controllable protocol for P2P anonymous communication.It uses nested encryption to guarantee strong anonymity and adopts forwarding probability decreasing strategy to control path length to obtain high efficiency.The theory analysis and calculation results show that this protocol can not only shorten path,ensure well transmission performance,but also can provide good anonymous protection.
