An anonymous P2P communication system is a peer-to-peer distributed application in which the nodes, which are used to share resources, or participants are anonymous or pseudonymous.[1] Anonymity of participants is usually achieved by special routing overlay networks that hide the physical location of each node from other participants.[2]
Interest in anonymous P2P systems has increased in recent years for many reasons, ranging from the desire to share files without revealing one's network identity and risking litigation[3] to distrust in governments, concerns over mass surveillance and data retention, and lawsuits against bloggers.[4]
