Resource Allocation Optimization with Guaranteed Security Level for Anti-traceable Access

Internet visitors can be well protected by hiding their traces. The purpose of traditional traceability is to obtain the user's IP address and physical location through some technical means. However, the essence of anti-traceability is to hide information browsing and search intention through trace hiding technology. Inspired by the PPM (Probability Packet Marking) strategy, an effective method of anti-tracing is to prevent the attacker from reconstructing the user's access path in a VPN network. We investigate a systematic study of anti-tracing to capture the relationship between resource allocation and security level guarantee in this paper. Furthermore, we propose a novel resource allocation and link scheduling algorithm with guaranteed security level. Numerical results verify that our proposed resource allocation solution can achieve good performance in terms of anti-tracing and security level guarantee.
