Abstract
The networked society places great demand on the dissemination and sharing of private data. As privacy concerns grow, anonymity of communications becomes important. This paper addresses the issue of anonymous ID assignment to nodes in a distributed network and how it can be integrated with secure mining algorithms to allow nodes, that have privacy concerns, a capability to opt out of the mining computation. We propose two algorithms for ID assignment and evaluate their performance. We use them in the design of a protocol that allows a node to opt out of data mining, and investigate the collusion resistance capability of the resulting protocol.
