An Anonymous Multiplexing Communication Protocol Based on IPv6

Abstract

One of the main privacy problems in network communication is lack of anonymity. Much work has been done on this problem in recent years. However, it is a challenge to improve anti-attack ability and degree of anonymity. A new anonymous multiplexing communication protocol, based on IPv6, is proposed in this paper. It utilizes the secret sharing technique to establish multiplexing communication, solves the secret sharing problem between the sender and the last hop, and increases the reliability and security of the overall system. When a sender communications with a recipient, this novel protocol is able to dynamically adjust other safer links to complete the communication, if a small quantity of communication links is attacked. Various evaluations via present attack models demonstrate that the new protocol, able to achieve recipient anonymity when reducing the communication delay, is superior in security and reliability over the traditional anonymous communications.
