随着互联网作为用于通信和信息检索的公共媒介被广泛接受，越来越多的人担心用户的个人隐私可能被合作的网络实体侵蚀。维护隐私的技术解决方案是提供匿名性。我们提出了一个协议发起者匿名称为部落，它使用的转发机制类似于以前的协议中使用的发送数据，但第一个协议，利用组播路由匿名接收数据。我们表明，这导致在较短的传输时延，需要较少的工作的协议参与者，在处理的消息。我们还提出了一个比较的安全性和匿名性的部落与以前的协议，使用第一个定量定义的匿名性和unlinkability。我们的分析表明，部落提供的匿名性在一定程度上类似于人群和洋葱路由，但部落也有许多性能优势。
With widespread acceptance of the Internet as a public medium for communication and information retrieval, there has been rising concern that the personal privacy of users can be eroded by cooperating network entities. A technical solution to maintaining privacy is to provide anonymity. We present a protocol for initiator anonymity called Hordes, which uses forwarding mechanisms similar to those used in previous protocols for sending data, but is the first protocol to make use of multicast routing to anonymously receive data. We show this results in shorter transmission latencies and requires less work of the protocol participants, in terms of the messages processed. We also present a comparison of the security and anonymity of Hordes with previous protocols, using the first quantitative definition of anonymity and unlinkability. Our analysis shows that Hordes provides anonymity in a degree similar to that of Crowds and Onion Routing, but also that Hordes has numerous performance advantages.
