Abstract

The protection goal anonymity helps to preserve the privacy of us ers by ensuring that their identity remains unknown. Many mechanisms ena bling anonymity exist. However, these mechanisms work inefficiently when used in mobile wireless networks. This contribution shows how anonymity can be provided efficiently for mobile users by exploiting the fact that they are mobile. A possible realization, called FLASCHE, is described.
