摘要：Anonymity has received increasing attention in the literature due to the users’ awareness of their privacy nowadays. Anonymity provides protection for users to enjoy network services without being traced. While anonymity-related issues have been extensively studied in payment-based systems such as e-cash and peer-to-peer (P2P) systems, little effort has been devoted to wireless mesh networks (WMNs) in Net. On the other hand, in network layer the network authority requires conditional anonymity such that misbehaving entities in the network remain traceable. In this paper, we propose a security architecture to ensure unconditional anonymity for honest users and traceability of misbehaving users for network authorities in network layer based on WMNs. The proposed architecture strives to resolve the conflicts between the untraceability and traceability objectives, in addition to guaranteeing fundamental security requirements including authentication, confidentiality, efficiency, data integrity, and non-repudiation . Thorough analysis on security and efficiency is incorporated, demonstrating the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed architecture
