Abstract
A forward proxy can perform identity substitutions and related services. The user provides the forward proxy with identity information, and the forward proxy presents itself to remote Internet sites on behalf of the user in the guize of the specified identity. From the remote site's point of view, the forward proxy is the machine being used by the user; the identity of the actual user machine can be hidden. Cookies are thus stored and updated at the forward proxy instead of being stored and updated at the user computer as they would be if a conventional forward proxy had been used. This helps preserve user privacy. The use of group identities, which are shared by multiple users, are also facilitated.
