Anonymous Tokens with Stronger Metadata Bit Hiding from Algebraic MACs

Serge Vaudenay, Fatma Betül Durak

On the one hand, the web needs to be secured from malicious activities such as bots or DoS attacks; on the other hand, such needs ideally should not justify services tracking people's activities on the web. Anonymous tokens provide a nice tradeoff between ...
