Abstract

Privacy is at stake on the World Wide Web (WWW). In this article, we overview, discuss, and put into perspective some privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) that can be used to provide anonymity services on the WWW. More specifically, we look at PETs that can be used to browse anonymously through the Web and publish anonymously on the Web.
