Abstract
An anonymity system including a cryptographic device. The cryptographic device of the anonymity system is adapted to initially determine whether a response to an incoming electronic message is requested. If so, an address of the anonymity system is encrypted with a key. In one embodiment, the key may be a public key of a system targeted to receive an outgoing electronic message from the anonymity system inclusive of data contained in the incoming electronic message. The encrypted address is placed into an outgoing electronic message before re-routing to the target system to allow the target system to re-route the response back to the anonymity system.
