Anonymous access control is crucial in network security to protect user privacy and support anonymous communication while balancing the need for confidentiality and traceability in specific scenarios. This control mechanism is important for maintaining data security, identity protection and security auditing. Traditional anonymous access control methods currently have two challenges: High performance overhead and Vulnerability to cyber-attacks. To cope with the above challenges, this paper proposes a dynamic anonymous access control method based on dual-mode single-packet authentication. The method utilizes dual-mode single-packet authentication to complete user authentication in the anonymous access phase, dynamically evaluates the user’s trust level through the trust evaluation module, and finally decides whether to allow the user to access the network resources. Experimentally verified, the dual-mode single-packet authentication scheme is more advantageous than other schemes regarding communication overhead and computation overhead, and the access efficiency is further improved.
