Abstract
The problem of anonymous authentication, which is key to preserving
the privacy of users, has an increased relevance given the
proliferation of applications that use components deployed in the
network, that cannot be fully trusted. A possible strategy to
preserve user privacy is to implement authentication using
pseudonyms. In this thesis, we survey how pseudonyms have been used
to protect privacy in different application areas and discuss the
advantages and limitations of the different approaches to managing
pseudonyms. Based on the limitations of previous work, we design,
implement, and evaluate novel techniques to enhance the performance
of systems that use pseudonyms.
