Anonymity has received increasing attention in the literature due to the users` awareness of their privacy nowadays. While anonymity related issues have been extensively studied in peer-to-peer (P2P) systems, numerous concerns have been raised about the issue of providing authentic partners in P2P systems. In addition, the network authority requires authentication so that misbehaving entities in the network remain traceable. This study analyzes this problem and reviews related researches. Besides, we also advise some possible methods for this problem.
