Chameleon and the Identity-Anonymity Paradox: Anonymity in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
Leonardo A. Martucci, Christer Andersson, Simone Fischer‐Hübner · 2006
In this paper we first present the identity-anonymity paradox, which explains why identities are needed to achieve reliable anonymity. Then, we introduce Chameleon, a novel anonymous overlay network for mobile ad hoc environments, and describe it in details with the support of state transition diagrams. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first low-latency anonymous communication mechanism designed for a mobile ad hoc network setting.
