This protocol is developed for anonymous message transmissions in a small private group of members.
The root problem is named "Dining cryptographers problem" [1] proposed by David Chaum. Its classical solution works well for only 3 members, so researchers are working to develop other protocols which will overcome the shortcomings of the "coins" solution. And the result is the "Accountable Anonymous Group Messaging" [2] paper released by Henry Corrigan-Gibbs and Bryan Ford. The Dissent protocol [3] is based on the ideas of that paper.
