The Freiburg privacy diamond

Anonymity is a protection goal that helps to protect the privacy of users by ensuring that their identity remains unknown. Many mechanisms that enable anonymous actions exist. The Freiburg privacy diamond proposed in this contribution is a conceptual model which can be used to classify, analyze, and construct anonymizing mechanisms in respect of the type of mobility that is required for this anonymity mechanism.
