“…These anonymizers can be used to obtain communication anonymity. They hide the IP address and other where about information from the messages they receive and forward these messages (Menczer et al ., 2002). If an agent sends a message to another agent using these anonymizers, the receiving agent is not able to identify the sender from the potential senders (the anonymity set in this case).…”

“…There are some agent architectures and implementations that use anonymizers (Menczer et al ., 2002; Jaiswal et al ., 2004). IntelliShopper (Menczer et al ., 2002) is an intelligent shopping agent that aids customers who are shopping for a product on an e-commerce site. This agent is in charge of monitoring e-commerce sites to notify the customer about updates related to products she/he is interested in.…”

“…Other approaches to pseudonymity come from the agent-based e-commerce domain (Menczer et al ., 2002). Users connect to the IntelliShopper agent using a pseudonym to avoid the link between the profiles that IntelliShopper has about customers and their real identity.…”

Privacy has been a concern for humans long before the explosive growth of the Internet. The advances in information technologies have further increased these concerns. This is because the increasing power and sophistication of computer applications offers both tremendous opportunities for individuals, but also significant threats to personal privacy. Autonomous agents and Multi-agent Systems are examples of the level of sophistication of computer applications. Autonomous agents usually encapsulate personal information describing their principals, and therefore they play a crucial role in preserving privacy. Moreover, autonomous agents themselves can be used to increase the privacy of computer applications by taking advantage of the intrinsic features they provide, such as artificial intelligence, pro-activeness, autonomy, and the like. This article introduces the problem of preserving privacy in computer applications and its relation to autonomous agents and Multi-agent Systems. It also surveys privacy-related studies in the field of Multi-agent Systems and identifies open challenges to be addressed by future research.
