Class AnonymousParty

net.corda.core.identity.AbstractParty

net.corda.core.identity.AnonymousParty

All Implemented Interfaces:

Destination

public class AnonymousParty
extends AbstractParty
implements Destination

The class AnonymousParty class contains enough information to uniquely identify a class Party while excluding private information such as name. It is intended to represent a party on the distributed ledger.

Flow sessions

Anonymous parties can be used to communicate using the FlowLogic.initiateFlow method. Message routing is simply routing to the well-known class Party the anonymous party belongs to. This mechanism assumes the party initiating the communication knows who the anonymous party is.
