Linking Anonymous Transactions: The Consistent View Attack
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we study a particular attack that may be launched by cooperating organisations in order to link the transactions and the pseudonyms of the users of an anonymous credential system. The results of our analysis are both positive and negative. The good (resp. bad) news, from a privacy protection (resp. evidence gathering) viewpoint, is that the attack may be computationally intensive. In particular, it requires solving a problem that is polynomial time equivalent to ALLSAT. The bad (resp. good) news is that a typical instance of this problem may be efficiently solvable.

Local View Attack on Anonymous Communication
We consider anonymous communication protocols based on onions: each message is sent in an encrypted form through a path chosen at random by its sender, and the message is re-coded by each server on the path. Recently, it has been shown that if the anonymous paths are long enough, then the protocols provide provable security for some adversary models. However, it was assumed that all users choos...
متن کاملKey-Privacy in Public-Key Encryption
We consider a novel security requirement of encryption schemes that we call “key-privacy” or “anonymity”. It asks that an eavesdropper in possession of a ciphertext not be able to tell which specific key, out of a set of known public keys, is the one under which the ciphertext was created, meaning the receiver is anonymous from the point of view of the adversary. We investigate the anonymity of...
متن کاملA Self-organized Public-Key Certificate System in P2P network
P2P network is open, anonymous and dynamical in contrast with conventional network. It’s full of dishonesty, deceit, selfishness. It’s necessary to build a robust security infrastructure system. The one important module of security infrastructure is to identify the users in transactions. This paper will propose an identification solution based on PKI. In our algorithm, the peer generates their ...
متن کاملBeaver: A Decentralized Anonymous Marketplace with Secure Reputation
Amid growing concerns of government surveillance and corporate data sharing, web users increasingly demand tools for preserving their privacy without placing trust in a third party. Unfortunately, existing centralized reputation systems need to be trusted for either privacy, correctness, or both. Existing decentralized approaches, on the other hand, are either vulnerable to Sybil attacks, prese...
متن کاملSecure Bio-Cryptographic Authentication System for Cardless Automated Teller Machines
Security is a vital issue in the usage of Automated Teller Machine (ATM) for cash, cashless and many off the counter banking transactions. Weaknesses in the use of ATM machine could not only lead to loss of customer’s data confidentiality and integrity but also breach in the verification of user’s authentication. Several challenges are associated with the use of ATM smart card such as: card clo...
