1 Anonymity is derived from the greek word ανωνυμία, meaning without a name or name-less. In colloquial use, the term
typically refers to a person, and often means that the personal identity, or personally identifiable information of that person is
not known. More strictly, and in reference to an arbitrary element (e.g. a human, an object, a computer), within a well-defined
set (called the “anonymity set”), “anonymity” of that element refers to the property of that element of not being identifiable
within this set. If it is not identifiable, then the element is said to be “anonymous”.

3 In fact, the term cyberspace literally means ‘navigable space’ and is derived from the Greek word kyber (to navigate). In
William Gibson’s 1984 novel, the original source of the term, cyberspace refers to, a navigable, digital space of networked
computers accessible from computer consoles, a visual, colourful, electronic, Cartesian datascape known as ‘The Matrix’
where companies and individuals interact with, and trade in, information. Since the publication of this novel, the term
cyberspace has been re-appropriated, adapted and used in a variety of ways, by many different constituencies, all of which
refer in some way to emerging computer-mediated communication and virtual reality technologies. Here, we refocus the
definition back to the envisaged by Gibson, so that cyberspace refers to the conceptual space within ICTs, rather than the
technology itself. See W. GIBSON, Neuromancer (New York, Grafton), [1984]; M. DODGE, Mapping Cyberspace (N.Y,
Routeldge), [2001] p. 1; D. PARKER, Fighting Computer Crime (N.Y., Wiley), [1998].
