Summary
Anonymizing networks like Tor route traffic to hide users' IP addresses. This text discusses how misbehaving users can cause entire networks to be blacklisted. It describes several systems that aim to balance anonymity and accountability.
The problem with anonymity
Anonymity allows users to misbehave without consequences. This can lead to entire networks being blocked. Users may be forced to use pseudonyms. This weakens anonymity for all users.
Group signatures and blacklisting
Group signatures allow servers to revoke a user's anonymity. Some systems allow users to be blacklisted for any reason. Others struggle with complex definitions of misbehavior.
Verifier-local revocation
Verifier-local revocation allows servers to update blacklists locally. This approach is suitable for mobile environments. It provides backward unlinkability to some extent.
The Nymble system
The Nymble system is a package of software components. It provides a wide range of functionality. It includes features like networking, security, and database connectivity.
Key terms
- Anonymizing networks
- Networks that route traffic through independent nodes to hide a user's IP address.
- Pseudonymous credential systems
- Systems where users log in with pseudonyms that can be blacklisted if they misbehave.
- Group signatures
- A method allowing servers to revoke a misbehaving user's anonymity.
- Backward unlinkability
- A property where a user's accesses before a complaint remain anonymous.
- Verifier-local revocation
- A revocation approach where only servers are involved in the revocation mechanism.
- Java Virtual Machine
