题目: Ring Signatures andCrypto-Currencies

 

摘要:

Introduced in 2001, a ringsignature is a type of digital signature that can be created by anyone in a groupof people. In contrast to group signatures, ring signatures are ad-hoc and donot require any coordination among the users. It is originally designed as away to leak a secret. Since then, it has found applications as a building inother cryptographic primitives, such as optimistic fair exchange, designatedverifier signatures and ad-hoc key exchange.

In this talk, we are going to reviewexisting results on ring signatures and their variants. Next, we introduceMonero, one of the most popular blockchain-based crypto-currencies. Inparticular, we discuss how variants of ring signatures are applied in Monero toensure its security and privacy.

We conclude the talk with someopen problems related to the use of ring signatures in blockchain-basedcrypto-currency and some promising directions.
