Rational protocol design: Cryptography against incentive-driven adversaries

J Garay, J Katz, U Maurer… - 2013 IEEE 54th …, 2013 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Existing work on" rational cryptographic protocols" treats each party (or coalition of parties)
running the protocol as a selfish agent trying to maximize its utility. In this work we propose a …

Toward a game theoretic view of secure computation

G Asharov, R Canetti, C Hazay - Journal of Cryptology, 2016 - Springer
Abstract We demonstrate how Game Theoretic concepts and formalism can be used to
capture cryptographic notions of security. In the restricted but indicative case of two-party …

Maximizing miner revenue in transaction fee mechanism design
