The utility of anonymous communication is undermined by a growing number of websites
treating users of such services in a degraded fashion. The second-class treatment of …

A privacy pool enables clients to deposit units of a cryptocurrency into a shared pool where

We propose the first verifier-local revocation scheme for privacy-enhancing attribute-based
credentials (PABCs) that is practically usable in large-scale applications, such as national …

In this paper we propose a novel abstraction that we have named Range-Revocable
Pseudonyms (RRPs). RRPs are a new class of pseudonyms whose validity can be revoked …

Verification of a polynomial's evaluation in a secret committed value plays a role in
cryptographic applications such as non-membership or membership proofs. We construct a …

Anonymous communications networks, such as Tor, help to solve the real and important
problem of enabling users to communicate privately over the Internet. However, in doing so …

Existing data management protocols for socially-aware networks assume that users are
cooperative when participating in operations such as data forwarding. However, selfishness …
