Privacy Analysis and Evaluation Policy of Blockchain-based Anonymous Cryptocurrencies

Takeshi Miyamae, Kanta Matsuura

AI总结:

本研究针对基于区块链的匿名加密货币的隐私特性,提出三层软件架构模型,定义基础隐私属性并分层分析,建立隐私评估策略,以此公平对比主流匿名加密货币的隐私水平。

摘要:

在基于区块链的匿名加密货币中,由于其防篡改和透明性特性,交易数据最初需要借助各种密码学技术(例如承诺方案和零知识证明)实现匿名化。此外,加密货币在软件架构和底层安全模型方面与现有的匿名消息传递协议不同。由于这些差异,必须为匿名加密货币专门定义匿名性的概念,并且必须基于特定的架构模型来分析和评估每种匿名加密货币中的匿名性。在本文中,我们首先为匿名加密货币提出了一种包含三个软件层的特定架构模型。接下来,我们介绍了基本隐私属性(Pfitzmann的匿名性、不可链接性和假名性)的定义,并针对匿名加密货币的每个架构层全面分析了每种隐私属性,以建立匿名加密货币的隐私评估策略。最后,我们使用该隐私评估策略公平比较了当前主流匿名加密货币(例如Zerocash、CryptoNote和Mimblewimble)的隐私性。

英文摘要:

In blockchain-based anonymous cryptocurrencies, due to their tamper-resistance and transparency characteristics, transaction data are initially required to be anonymous, with the help of various cryptographic techniques, e.g., commitment schemes and zero-knowledge proofs. Also, cryptocurrencies are different from existing anonymous messaging protocols regarding the software architecture and the underlying security model. Due to these differences, the sense of anonymity must be specifically defined for anonymous cryptocurrencies, and the anonymity in each anonymous cryptocurrency must be analyzed and evaluated based on the specific architecture model. In this paper, we first propose a specific architecture model with three software layers to anonymous cryptocurrencies. Next, we introduce definitions of fundamental privacy properties (Pfitzmann's anonymity, unlinkability, and pseudonymity) and comprehensively analyze each privacy property for each architecture layer of anonymous cryptocurrencies to establish a privacy evaluation policy for anonymous cryptocurrencies. Finally, we fairly compare the privacy of current leading anonymous cryptocurrencies (e.g., Zerocash, CryptoNote, and Mimblewimble) using the privacy evaluation policy.
