Group signature revocable anonymity scheme for network monitoring

Subscriber’s Privacy is in a constant conflict with security and accountability providing controls employed for network monitoring activities of service providers and enterprises. This paper presents the results of the author’s research in the field of distributed network security monitoring architectures and the proposal of such a system that incorporates cryptographic protocols and a group signature scheme to deliver privacy protecting, network surveillance system architecture that provides subscriber’s accountability and controlled, revocable anonymity.
