Anonymity in Erlang

Generally speaking, servers and clients in Erlang are implemented as named functions in named modules. Similarly, processes communicate via messages that have a statically-known structure, and specifically, with static tags, that serve as the "names" of the messages. This exposes a great deal of information about an Erlang application: The names of the modules, the name of the entry-point functions within the module, the "names" of the messages between the server and the client, etc. In this work, we show how higher-order functions, and some well-studied techniques from functional programming, can be used to obtain anonymity of servers and messages.
