An anonymity application is any software application which can be used to access a network, such as the Internet, anonymously. The application can use either private or public anonymous proxy servers, encryption or even spoofing, diversion and obfuscation to ensure an anonymous and/or difficultly traceable access to a resource.
Examples: Anonymous P2P, I2P (anonymous network), Tor (anonymity network), Phantom, *Bitblinder

Famous quotes containing the words anonymity and/or application:
“Kindness is a virtue neither modern nor urban. One almost unlearns it in a city. Towns have their own beatitude; they are not unfriendly; they offer a vast and solacing anonymity or an equally vast and solacing gregariousness. But one needs a neighbor on whom to practice compassion.”
—Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
“The human mind is capable of excitement without the application of gross and violent stimulants; and he must have a very faint perception of its beauty and dignity who does not know this.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
