Brilliant idea and also great for freedom of speech and exposing things that need exposing.
Thank you for this information. Is there any tips for making a website secure and make the chances of someone hacking your site less likely?

SAT: A SECURITY ARCHITECTURE ACHIEVING ANONYMITY AND TRACEABILITY IN WIRELESS MESH NETWORKS
[attachment=53820]
ABSTRACT:
Anonymity has received increasing attention in the literature due to the users’ awareness of their privacy nowadays. Anonymity provides protection for users to enjoy network services without being traced. While anonymity-related issues have been extensively studied in payment-based systems such as e-cash and peer-to-peer (P2P) systems, little effort has been devoted to wireless mesh networks (WMNs). On the other hand, the network authority requires conditional anonymity such that misbehaving entities in the network remain traceable. Here, we propose a security architecture to ensure unconditional anonymity for honest users and traceability of misbehaving users for network authorities in WMNs. The proposed architecture strives to resolve the conflicts between the anonymity and traceability objectives, in addition to guaranteeing fundamental security requirements including authentication, confidentiality, data integrity, and no repudiation. Thorough analysis on security and efficiency is incorporated, demonstrating the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed architecture.
EXISTING SYSTEM:
In wireless communication systems, it is easier for a global observer to mount traffic analysis attacks by following the packet forwarding path than in wired networks. Thus, routing anonymity is indispensable, which conceals the confidential communication relationship of two parties by building an anonymous path between them. Nevertheless, unconditional anonymity may incur insider attacks since misbehaving users are no longer traceable. Therefore, traceability is highly desirable such as in e-cash systems where it is used for detecting and tracing double-spenders.
PROPOSED SYSTEM
We are motivated by resolving the above security conflicts, namely anonymity and traceability, in the emerging WMN communication systems. We have proposed the initial design of our security architecture, where the feasibility and applicability of the architecture were not fully understood. As a result, we provide detailed efficiency analysis in terms of storage, communication, and computation in this paper to show that our SAT is a practically viable solution to the application scenario of interest. Our system borrows the blind signature technique from payment systems, and hence, can achieve the anonymity of unlinking user identities from activities, as well as the traceability of misbehaving users. Furthermore, the proposed pseudonym technique renders user location information unexposed.
Advantage:
Our work differs from previous work in that WMNs have unique hierarchical topologies and rely heavily on wireless links, which have to be considered in the anonymity design. As a result, the original anonymity scheme for payment systems among bank, customer, and store cannot be directly applied. In addition to the anonymity scheme, other security issues such as authentication, key establishment, and revocation are critical in WMNs to ensure the correct application of the anonymity scheme. Moreover, although we employ the widely used pseudonym approach to ensure network access anonymity and location privacy, our pseudonym generation does not rely on a central authority, e.g., the broker , the domain authority , the transportation authority or the manufacturer, and the trusted authority , who can derive the user’s identity from his pseudonyms and illegally trace an honest user. Our system is not intended for achieving routing anonymity, which can be incorporated as an enhancement
