Abstract

This paper introduces a light-weighted extension of anonymous communications in IPv6 network. This method integrates the IP generation and updating with onion routing based mechanisms. It first uses DHCPv6 to get the “seed IP address” and generates changeable addresses in communications, and then imports this mechanism into the traditional onion routing based anonymous communication systems such as WindTalker. Experiment and simulation prove that this method can enhance the overall anonymity of the host. Users with this method can configure the simple mechanism easily and need not modify much network design of IPv6.
