Today's enterprises core concept of security is the Identity (ID). When it comes to mapping identity in order to gain access to a specific service or digital account, cloud technology offers the most robust, cost-effective, easy-to-use solutions available. In this paper, the Virtual Identity (VID) concept is not only used to improve the user privacy and security on the network and service platforms but also, the VID performance is evaluated by implementing a mathematical model based on Baskett Chandy Muntz-Palacios (BCMP) model. Moreover, a simulation-based evaluation using OPNET Modeler is conducted to compare the simulation results against the analytical model based BCMP queuing analysis. Finally, the comparative study of our proposed models and the related work proves that our proposed models are suitable for anonymous communication in distributed virtual environments.
