Summary
The concurrence of anonymity and scalability in the routing of mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) is a challenging issue of great interest. In this work, we propose an efficient routing protocol that guarantees the anonymity of the sender and the recipient in the most scenarios, as well as the unlinkability between them. Another highlight is that the sender?s identity remains anonymous before the recipient. The scheme is based on symmetric cryptography but, unlike previous proposals, the exchange of the shared key is performed without revealing the identities of the end nodes. The protocol provides a good level of scalability because no intermediate node has to perform cryptographic operations during the route discovery to verify whether it is the intended recipient.
