| Abstract | A vital requirement for e-commerce today is privacy. We explore the area of privacy for Agents in the Privacy Incorporated Software Agent (PISA) project. We first review existing privacy protection techniques: pseudonym systems, privacy enhancing technology (PET) and anonymous communication networks. We then propose a model for an Anonymous Internet Infrastructure (AII), an anonymous Internet based on PETAgents, and analyze several possible combinations both of network technologies and PET-Agents. Finally, we discuss the security interface issues for PISA-Agents and present a pseudonym E-commerce model based on PISA. |
