Patterns — anonymity

• Anonymity Set

  This pattern aggregates multiple entities into a set, such that they cannot be distinguished anymore.

• Attribute Based Credentials

  Attribute Based Credentials (ABC) are a form of authentication mechanism that allows to flexibly and selectively authenticate different attributes about an entity without revealing additional information about the entity (zero-knowledge property).

• Protection against Tracking

  This pattern avoids the tracking of visitors of websites via cookies. It does this by deleting them at regular intervals or by disabling cookies completely.

• Psuedonymous Identity

  Hide the identity by using a pseudonym and ensure a pseudonymous identity that can not be linked with a real identity during online interactions.
