  4. Abstract:
  5. One of the most important systems for providing anonymous communication is the Mix nets which should provide correctness and privacy as security requirements against active adversaries. In 2009, Zhong proposed a new mix net scheme which uses identity-based cryptographic techniques and proved that it has 'correctness' and 'privacy' properties in the semi-honest model. Since the semi-honest model is a very strong assumption for practical application, we show that if a user or the last mix server is corrupted, Zhong scheme does not provide privacy against an active adversary
