Some systems offer probabilistic anonymity. The degree of anonymity is considered and defined by Reiter and Rubin [1]. In this paper metrics are proposed to measure anonymity of probabilistic systems. The metric induces a topology on probabilistic applied

processes, which are used to model anonymous systems. The degree of anonymity is formally defined, and as an illustrating example, Crowds – an anonymous system for web transaction – is analyzed.
