/an-uh-NIM-i-tee/

Also known as: anonymous, unlinkability

Last updated August 7, 2026

Definition

Anonymity means acting without revealing a lasting real-world identity — others may see activity but cannot reliably link it back to you.

Real-World Example

Publishing a tip through a carefully designed anonymous channel aims to protect the source’s identity from retaliation.
