Abstract :
Widespread adoption of wireless devices has considerably enlarged the domain of user applications, but consequently specific issues related to a secure use of these devices arise, in particular when user privacy may be at stake. This work aims at assuring an adequate degree of privacy when using pervasive wireless devices, by means of a modified flooding routing algorithm and known anonymity techniques, which however have not yet been applied to wireless scenarios. The level of privacy reached is evaluated by traffic matrices and experimental tests.
