Abstract
In many scenarios, sources want to publish information anonymously and allow it to be distributed on a large scale in a short period of time. To this end, we proposed a bi-objective source hiding method to locate the sources with both hiding and propagation capability in the network. Firstly, three heuristic methods are proposed to evaluate the hiding performance of nodes. Secondly, based on the characteristics of network propagation, breadth first search is applied to measure the propagation capability of nodes. Then, a normalization method is proposed to comprehensively evaluate the hiding ability and propagation ability of nodes, and the node with the strongest comprehensive ability is used as the propagation source. Finally, experiments are simulated based on five different source detection methods on multiple network structures, and the experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.
