Preserving the Anonymity in MobilityFirst networks

A scheme for preserving privacy in MobilityFirst (MF) clean-slate future Internet architecture is proposed in this paper. The proposed scheme, called Anonymity in MobilityFirst (AMF), utilizes the three-tiered approach to effectively exploit the inherent properties of MF Network such as Globally Unique Flat Identifier (GUID) and Global Name Resolution Service (GNRS) to provide anonymity to the users. While employing new proposed schemes in exchanging of keys between different tiers of routers to alleviate trust issues, the proposed scheme uses multiple routers in each tier to avoid collaboration amongst the routers in the three tiers to expose the end users.
