AnonymousParty

class AnonymousParty : Destination, AbstractParty

The AnonymousParty class contains enough information to uniquely identify a 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 Party the anonymous party belongs to. This mechanism assumes the party initiating the communication knows who the anonymous party is.
