Abstract

In this paper, we shall propose a scheme for anonymous multicast and reception. Since the scheme can hide the identity of the receiver, we can resist the attack of traffic analysis. Besides that, we shall also extend our method to anonymous multicast. In our new scheme of multicast, we shall propose a new idea for seeds distribution that can also be applied to anonymous reception of messages.On top of all those above, in this paper, we shall reveal how we have solved the problem of synchronization, which is quite an accomplishment in a massive network, a new altitude that has never been reached.
