社交网络正在泄露你的身份背后的加密货币
Social Networks are Divulging Your Identity behind Crypto Addresses
摘要:
加密货币,如比特币和以太坊,正变得越来越流行,主要是由于它们的匿名性,分散性,透明度和安全性。然而,完全公开的账本使得只要公开地址背后的身份被揭示,就可以对每个账户进行追踪和分析。从理论上讲,当使用包含个人信息的账户在社交网络平台上发布地址时,社交网络可以实现这一点。为了验证这种可能性,我们收集了Twitter和Reddit两个主要平台的公开数据,旨在发现ETH公共地址背后潜在的隐私泄露。最后,为了更好的说明,本文还开发了一个简单易用的检索应用程序。
英文摘要:
Cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, are becoming increasingly prevalent mainly due to their anonymity, decentralization, transparency, and security. However, the completely public ledger makes the trace and analysis of each account possible as long as the identity behind the public address is revealed. Theoretically, social networks could make that happen when addresses are posted on social network platforms using accounts containing personal information. To verify such a possibility, we have collected public data from two major platforms, i.e. Twitter and Reddit, aiming to find potential privacy leakage behind the ETH public address. In the end, an easy-to-use retrieval application is also built for a better illustration.
