Tuesday 30 January 2018, 14:00-15:00
Anonymity in Cryptocurrencies
- 👤 Speaker: Sarah Meiklejohn, Information Security Group, University College London (UCL)
- 📅 Date & Time: Tuesday 30 January 2018, 14:00 - 15:00
- 📍 Venue: LT2, Computer Laboratory, William Gates Building
Abstract
A long line of recent research has demonstrated that existing cryptocurrencies often do not achieve the level of anonymity that users might expect they do, while at the same time another line of research has worked to increase the level of anonymity by adding new features to existing cryptocurrencies or creating entirely new cryptocurrencies. This talk will explore both of these lines of research, demonstrating both de-anonymization attacks and techniques for anonymity that achieve provably secure guarantees.
