Privacy and anonymity are increasingly important in the online
world. Corporations and governments are starting to realize their power
to track users and their behavior, and restrict the ability to publish
or retrieve documents. Approaches to protecting individuals, groups,
and even companies and governments from such profiling and censorship
have included decentralization, encryption, and distributed trust.

Building on the success of the first anonymity and unobservability
workshop (LNCS 2009, held in Berkeley in July 2000), PET2002 addresses
the design and realization of such anonymity and anti-censorship services
for the Internet and other communication networks. The program consists
of peer reviewed papers, an invited talk, and a panel discussion on
policy. The proceedings will be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture
Notes in Computer Science series.
