Christer Andersson, Leonardo A. Martucci, Simone Fischer‐Hübner · IGI Global eBooks · 2011
Providing privacy is often considered a keystone factor for the ultimate take up and success of mobile ad hoc networking. Privacy can best be protected by enabling anonymous communication and, therefore, this chapter surveys existing anonymous communication mechanisms for mobile ad hoc networks.

Finally, we also discuss the notorious Sybil attack in the context of anonymous communication and mobile ad hoc networks.Request access from your librarian to read this chapter's full text.
