Zusammenfassung:To provide anonymous communication, this paper proposes the implementation of a 5-node mix network using ElGamal encryption and XOR Shuffling. An algorithm for a 5-node mix network with XOR shuffling has been presented. The study carefully examines the processing time at each node and determines the load factor linked to each node using MATLAB simulation. By utilizing a shuffling technique to break the connection between nodes, the mix network successfully achieves communication anonymity. The effectiveness of this approach in maintaining anonymity and controlling communication load is persuasively shown by the data that are presented. The knowledge of mix networks and their function in protecting user privacy in digital communication systems is enhanced by this research. This study establishes a platform for future research and optimization of mix network deployments by offering empirical proof of its efficacy. These developments could improve digital communication networks’ security and privacy in a number of situations.
