Routing in wireless ad hoc networks are vulnerable to traffic analysis, spoofing and denial of service attacks due to open wireless medium communications. Anonymity mechanisms in ad hoc networks are critical security measures used to mitigate these problems by concealing identification information, such as those of nodes, links, traffic flows, paths and network topology information from harmful attackers. Providing security and anonymity to users are critical in wireless ad hoc networks. This report presents a state-of-the-art review and a comparison for typical representatives of Anonymous routing protocols designed for mobile ad hoc networks. The report aims at providing criteria according to which those protocols can be compared and classified.
