Abstract

The privacy of users of mobile devices has been at stake, with emerging systems based on the mobile ad hoc networking technology raising additional concerns. The establishment of a connection between two nodes could readily reveal information to an eavesdropper. One approach to prevent this is to provide receiver anonymity, i.e., conceal the identity of the receiver, during the establishment of a communication path. In this paper, we introduce such a scheme that improves the efficiency of anonymous discovery, balances its cost among network nodes, and can be adaptive, trading off the degree of anonymity for the receiver.

Node (networking)

In telecommunications networks, a node (nodus, ‘knot’) is either a redistribution point or a communication endpoint. The definition of a node depends on the network and protocol layer referred to. A physical network node is an electronic device that is attached to a network, and is capable of creating, receiving, or transmitting information over a communication channel. A passive distribution point such as a distribution frame or patch panel is consequently not a node.

Network topology

Network topology is the arrangement of the elements (links, nodes, etc.) of a communication network. Network topology can be used to define or describe the arrangement of various types of telecommunication networks, including command and control radio networks, industrial fieldbusses and computer networks. Network topology is the topological structure of a network and may be depicted physically or logically. It is an application of graph theory wherein communicating devices are modeled as nodes and the connections between the devices are modeled as links or lines between the nodes.

Wireless ad hoc network

A wireless ad hoc network (WANET) or mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a decentralized type of wireless network. The network is ad hoc because it does not rely on a pre-existing infrastructure, such as routers or wireless access points. Instead, each node participates in routing by forwarding data for other nodes. The determination of which nodes forward data is made dynamically on the basis of network connectivity and the routing algorithm in use.
