C2Net was an Internet cryptography company founded by Sameer Parekh , which was sold to Red Hat in 2000. It was best known for its Stronghold software Stronghold secure webserver software. C2Net started out as Community ConneXion, an Internet Privacy Provider sort of like an Internet Service Provider providing customers with anonymous Internet services, from dialup access to email accounts. Community ConneXion implemented the first double blind anonymous mail forwarding service aka nym server , as well as was the company that commercialized the Anonymizer before selling it to Lance Cottrell s Anonymizer, Inc.. After seeing a demand for an Apache HTTP Server Apache based SSL capable web server, Sameer Parekh developed the first version of Stronghold by plugging together Apache HTTP Server Apache with SSLeay , Apache SSL , and a commercially licensed RSAref . The product was wildly successful but the company was unwilling to compromise security to get an export license for its products. Thus C2Net purchased UKWeb, an Apache consultancy in Leeds , which independently reengineered the Stronghold product without RSAref for the international market. This made C2Net the first American company to be capable of providing strong encryption solutions to a worldwide market. Eventually C2Net hired the SSLeay developers Eric Young and Tim Hudson in Brisbane, Australia to develop more encryption products. C2Net s relationship with RSA Data Security, Inc. was rocky because C2Net was using the leaked version of their trade secret encryption algorithim RC4 , rather than a version licensed from them directly. It was in fact this leaked version of RC4 that made it possible to develop a full strength version of Stronghold outside the United States. Eventually C2Net and RSA Data Security, Inc. resolved their differences, and C2Net purchased a patent license for RSA and a license to use the trade secret RC4 within the United States. During merger negotiations between RSA and C2Net, RSA hi ... more details

An anonymous post is an entry on a bulletin board system , Internet forum or message board, blog , or other discussion forum without a screen name or more commonly by using a non identifiable pseudonym . Some online forums do not allow such posts, requiring users to be registered. Some may allow anonymous posts, but discourage those known as anonymous coward s a term coined by Slashdot . Others like JuicyCampus , AutoAdmit , 2channel and other Futaba Channel Futaba based image boards thrive on the anonymity. IP Addresses Anonymity Anonymity on the Internet Anonymity on the Internet is limited by IP address es. For example, WikiScanner associates anonymous Wikipedia edits with the IP address that made the change and tries to identify the entity that owns the IP address. On other websites IP address may not be publicly available, but they can be obtained from the website controllers. Identifying the author of an anonymous post may require a Doe subpoena . First, the IP address of the poster will be obtained from the hosting website. Through a second request, courts then order an ISP to identify the subscriber to whom it had assigned said IP address. Requests for such data are almost always fruitful, though providers often will effect a finite term of data retention telecommunications data retention in accordance with the privacy policy of each local law may specify a minimum and or maximum term . Yet there are also services that aim at making it impossible to trace back a user activity to a specific ip number such a service is called an Anonymizer . Examples of anonymizers include I2P and Tor anonymity network Tor . Legal Protections main Doe subpoena The right to speak anonymously online is protected, in the United States, by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution First Amendment , and various Electronic Communications Privacy Act other laws . These laws restrict the ability of the government and civil litigants to obtain the identity of anonymous spea ... more details
