Abstract
Two important properties in privacy-preserving communication are anonymity and end-to-end encryption. The current anonymous communication protocols and public key infrastructure is not enough sufficient to realize a secure and anonymous communication protocol, that requires the above two properties. There is a secure and anonymous communication protocol which employs identity-based encryption for encrypting packets without sacrificing anonymity and group signature for anonymous user authentication. Proxy entities are used for communication in the protocol which hides user IP address from service providers. There is a possibility for users to communicate with service providers without using proxies. In the, service provider is not anonymous to users. So, users can simply use the service provider public key to build a secure channel. The objective of this project is to provide a secure communication from service provider to user. To cope with this issue, a filtering mechanism is proposed in which the service provider filters the IP address of users who already communicates through proxy entities.
