Summary

  • Privacy Pass has been introduced by privacy-focused search engine Kagi
  • The search engine already trapped Internet searches to prevent the user’s IP address from being tracked
  • This new feature is based on an authentication protocol standardised by the Internet Engineering Task Force
  • It allows users to authenticate themselves to servers such as Kagi by generating tokens
  • These cannot be linked to other tokens and the server can tell it is a token but not who generated it or when
  • Kagi has made this new feature available on its Professional, Ultimate, Family and Team plans
