This is not that kind of nickname. (that would be kromnomo, an "instead name") Kaŝnomo comes from kaŝi (to hide) + nomo (name), so it's a name you use so you don't have to use your real name.
It's also a synonym of the word pseŭdonimo, although that is more specifically "kaŝnomo de verkisto aŭ artisto", according to PIV.
