Research

  • Mixnet v2 Simulation: ran the passive adversary simulation and posted the result here. We can see that the accuracy of timing attack (by passive adversary) significantly decreases as the number of mix layers and cover traffic increase. Next, we need to analyze this result along with bandwidth usages to find the optimal parameters of cover traffic and mix layers.
  • Analysis of the mix gadget: For the analysis of random graphs, generated by random sampling of k-paths in the mix gadget, wrote an interpretation of the result of this analysis. Based on this, looked at a more optimal approach for anonymous communication family of random graphs - notes.
  • Updated the sparse network section of the Security of Mixing over Broadcasting Channel document, as well as the models and finished the global view section. In the document, we have discussed what can be observed without cover traffic in our scenario, the cover traffic design, and how the cover traffic impacts on the observer capabilities to link the traffic.

  • We’ve restarted the CL executable specification in rust (PR). The following parts have been specified: notes, nullifiers, ptx input, ptx output, partial tx. Still remaining to be specified: tx bundle of ptx’s, birth/death constraints, integration with SP1 snarks.
