%X In wireless sensor network (WSN), the information security that involves contents security and communication security becomes the hotspot of research and application. Since the limitation of sensor nodes' resource (energy, computation, et al) and deployment in diverse environments, some complex security algorithms are hardly implemented for WSN. The content security can be realized by various existing encryption approaches and authentication mechanisms, and the anonymous communication technology is a good way to achieve the communication security. The article is to provide a general overview of the anonymous communication in WSN and cover all the relevant work, providing the interested researcher pointers for open research issues in this field. The traditional anonymous communication technologies and WSN's anonymous communication schemes is investigated and reviewed. Furthermore, the advantages and disadvantages of key anonymous communication technologies is analyzed and summarized in WSN.
