Protect the identity of participants may be advantageous or essential and even critical for many internet applications. Mix rings architecture give better performance than mix-nets while maintaining anonymity that is stronger than onion routing. This paper presents an enhancement of mix rings, which is a hybrid P2P system and is designed to provide anonymity under a strong adversarial model in terms of identification, anonymity and resilience to collusion, along with low latency of data delivery and the link utilization. We use a double-layer overlay network, composed of nodes that are interested in anonymity and trusted index nodes and introduce several cluster escape and random extend mechanisms into mix rings. We present a description of the protocol, an analysis of common attack defense, and evaluate the degree of anonymity using MATLAB simulations. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
