摘要：Data is one of the most important resources to organization and any loss or lack of access could lead to many problems, so the data should be transmitted with security. Although encryption was used to hide the contents of transmitted data, it does not hide the identity of the communicating parties and it does not prevent traffic analysis.Anonymity in a communication context, also known as untraceability, prevents tracing back from a receiver to the sender. So for providing anonymity one of the most efficient systems is MIXNET. The most important applications of Mixnets are in secure electronic voting, anonymous e-mail, anonymous telecommunications and anonymous internet communications .In e-voting protocols, a Mixnet anonymously communicates ballots from the voter to the electoral authority, hence providing ballot secrecy. In addition to presenting the existing Mixnet with cascade topology, this approach encrypts N messages using AES encryption which provides high confidentiality and permutes the data at each mixnode for providing anonymity. If N number of messages are encrypted by using AES encryption, then they will get permuted at each mixnode of the Mixnet until it reaches the nearest mixnode of receiver, then the data is decrypted using AES decryption algorithm and it is sent to corresponding N receivers.
