Figure 6

Illustration of two types of structurally indistinguishable nodes. (A) Two candidate nodes for Bob (indicated by dotted lines) are structurally indistinguishable, but do not share their connections. Given that the position of Alice in the network is known (e.g. using 1-k-anonymity, there is no certainty about the connection between Bob and Alice. (B,C) All candidates for Bob are twin-unique. The nodes are structurally indistinguishable (see Theorem 2 and Proof 2) and an attacker can be certain about the connections of Bob and thus the connection with Alice.
