How Protocols Break
Aaron Feickert
There are many ways to build a privacy-respecting transaction protocol, taking advantage of different kinds of cryptographic plumbing. But even good math can be assembled in ways that still leak information and render a design less safe than intended.
This talk will use real-world examples to show the challenge of building protocols that respect privacy and enhance safety, and how plugging cryptographic leaks is pretty darn tough.
