Protecting E-mail Anonymity with an Anonymizer Bouncer

摘要

Communication between people has always been a part of society. In the past, people could omit the return address from a letter to keep the sender's identity private. The problem is that it is not as easy to achieve anonymity when sending and receiving e-mails. This paper discusses ways of achieving anonymity when using e-mail as communication for instance, in lodging complaints to a grievance department. Anonymity is defined as hiding the identity and personal information of an individual. The proposed model uses an anonymous re-mailer to show how the sender of an e-mail's identity can remain anonymous.
