Abstract :
Anonymity in peer-to-peer network means that it is difficult to associate a particular communication with a sender or a recipient. Recently, anonymous peer-to-peer framework, called GNUnet, was developed. A primary feature of GNUnet is resistance to traffic-analysis. However, Kugler analyzed a routing protocol in GNUnet, and pointed out traceability of initiator. In this paper, we propose an alternative routing protocol applicable in GNUnet, which is resistant to Kugler´s shortcut attacks
