It would therefore rotate ``denomination'' signing +keys every few weeks or months to keep this database from expanding +indefinitely \cite{Taler??}. As a consequence, our exchange has +ample time to respond to advances in cryptgraphy by increasing their +key sizes, updating wallet software with new algorithms, or +even shutting down. + +In particular, there is no chance that quantum computers will emerge +and become inexpensive within the lifetime of a demonination key. +Indeed, even a quantum computer that existed only in secret posses +little threat because the risk of exposing that secret probably exceeds +the exchange's value. + +\smallskip + +We cannot make the same bold pronouncement for the customers' anonymity +however. We must additionally ask if customers' transactions can be +deanonymized in the future by the nvention of quantum computes, or +mathematical advances. + +David Chaum's original RSA blind sgnatures provide even information +theoretic anonymity for customers, giving the desired negative answer. +There are however many related schemes that add desirable properties +at the expense of customers' anonymity. In particular, any scheme +that supports offline merchants must add a deanonymization attack +when coins are double spent \cite{B??}. + +Importantly, there are reasons why exchanges must replace coins that +do not involve actual financial transactons, like to reissue a coin +before the exchange rotates the denomination key that signed it, or +protect users' anonymity after a merchant recieves a coin, but fails +to process it or deliver good. + +In Taler, coins can be partially spent by signing with the coin's key +for only a portion of the value determined by the coin's denomination +key. This allows precise payments but taints the coin with a +transaction, which frequently entail user data like a shipng address. +To correct this, a customer does a second transaction with the exchange +where they sign over the partially spent coin's risidual balance +in exchange for new freshly anonymized coins. +Taler employs this {\em refresh} or {\em melt protocol} for +both for coins tainted through partial spending or merchant failures, +as well as for coin replacement due to denomination key roration. + +If this protocol were simply a second transaction, then customers +would retain information theoreticaly secure anonymity. +In Taler however, we require that the exchange learns acurate income +information for merchants. If we use a regular transaction, then +a customer could conspire to help the merchant hide their income +\cite[]{Taler??}. +To prevent this, the refresh protocol requires that a customer prove +that they could learn the private key of the resulting new coins. + +At this point, Taler employs an elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman key +exchange between the coin's signing key and a new linking key +\cite[??]{Taler??}. As the public linking key is exposed, +an adversary with a quantum computer could trace any coins involved +in either partial spending operations or aborted transactions. +A refresh prompted by denomination key rotation incurs no anonymity +risks regardless. + +\smallskip + +We could add an existing post-quantum key exchange, but these all +incur significantly larger key sizes, requiring more badwidth and +storage space for the exchange, and take longer to run. +In addition, the established post-quantum key exchanges based on +Ring-LWE, like New Hope \cite{}, require that both keys be +ephemeral. +Super-singular isogenies \cite{,} would work ``out of the box'', +if it were already packeged in said box. + +Instead, we observe that + + + + + + + +In this paper, we describe a post-quantum + +It replaces an elliptic curve Diffe-Hellman operation with a unique +hash-based encryption scheme for the proof-of-trust via key knoledge +property that Taler requires to distinguish untaxable operations from +taxable purchases. + +... + +\smallskip + +We observe that several elliptic curve blind signature schemes provide +information theoreticly secure blinding as well, but + Schnorr sgnatures require an extra round trip \cite{??}, and + pairing based schemes offer no advnatages over RSA \cite{??}. + +There are several schemes like Anonize \cite{} in Brave \cite{}, +or Zcash \cite{} used in similar situations to blind signatures. +% https://github.com/brave/ledger/blob/master/documentation/Ledger-Principles.md +In these systems, anonymity is not post-quantum due to the zero-knowledge +proofs they employ. + + + + +\section{Background} + + +\section{Refresh} + + +Let $\kappa$ and $\theta$ denote + the exchange's security parameter and + the maximum number of coins returned by a refresh, respectively. + +We define a Merkle tree/sequence function + $\mlink(m,i,j) = H(m || "YeyCoins!" || i || j)$ + Actual linking key for jth cut of ith target coin + $\mhide(m,i,j) = H( \mlink(m,i,j) )$ + Linking key hidden for Merkle + $\mcoin(m,i) = H( \mhide(m,i,1) || \ldots || \mhide(m,i,\kappa) )$ + Merkle root for refresh into the ith coin + $\mroot(m) = M( \m_coin(m,1), \ldots, \mcoin(m,\theta) )$ + Merkle root for refresh of the entire coin + $mpath(m,i)$ is the nodes adjacent to Merkle path to $\mcoin(m,i)$ +If $\theta$ is small then $M(x[1],\ldots,x[\theta])$ could be simply be +the concatenate and hash function $H( x[1] || ... || x[\theta] )$ like +in $\mcoin$, giving $O(n)$ time. If $\theta$ is large, then $M$ should +be a hash tree to give $O(\log n)$ time. We could use $M$ in $\mcoin$ +too if $\kappa$ were large, but concatenate and hash wins for $\kappa=3$. +All these hash functions should have a purpose string. + + +A coin now consists of + a Ed25519 public key $C = c G$, + a Merkle root $M = \mroot(m)$, and + an RSA signature $S = S_d(C || M)$ by a denomination key $d$. +There was a blinding factor $b$ used in the creation of the coin's signature $S$. +In addition, there was a value $s$ such that + $c = H(\textr{"Ed25519"} || s)$, + $m = H(\textr{"Merkle"} || s)$, and + $b = H(\textr{"Blind"} || s)$, +but we try not to retain $s$ if possible. + + +We have a tainted coin $(C,M,S)$ that we wish to + refresh into $n \le \theta$ untained coins. +For simplicity, we allow $x'$ to stand for the component + normally denoted $x$ of the $i$th new coin being created. +So $C' = c' G$, $M' = \mroot(m')$, and $b'$ must be derived from $s'$. +For $j=1\cdots\kappa$, + we allow $x^j$ to denote the $j$th cut of the $i$th coin. +So again + $C^j = c^j G$, $M^j = \mroot(m^j)$, and $b^j$ must be derived from $s^j$. + +Wallet phase 1. + For $j=1 \cdots \kappa$: + Create random $s^j$ and $l^j$. + Compute $c^j$, $m^j$, and $b^j$ from $s^j$ as above. + Compute $C^j = c^j G$ and $L^j = l^j G$ too. + Compute $B^j = B_{b^j}(C^j || \mroot(m^j))$. + Set $k = H(\mlink(m,i,j) || l^j C)$ + Encrypt $E^j = E_k(s^j,l^j)$. + Send commitment $S' = S_C( (L^j,E^1,B^1), \ldots, (E^\kappa,B^\kappa) )$ +% Note : If $\mlink$ were a stream cypher then $E()$ could just be xor. + +Exchange phase 1. + Pick random $\gamma \in \{1 \cdots \kappa\}$. + Mark $C$ as spent by saving $(C,gamma,S')$. + Send gamma and $S(C,gamma,...)$ + +Wallet phase 2. + Save ... + Set $\Beta_gamma = \mhide(m,i,gamma) = H( \mlink(m,i,gamma) )$ and + $\beta_i = \mlink(m,i,j)$ for $j=1\cdots\kappa$ not $\gamma$ + Prepare a responce tuple $R^j$ consisting of + $Beta_gamma$, $(beta_j,l^j)$ for $j=1\cdots\kappa$ not $\gamma$, + and $\mpath(m,i)$, including $\mcoin(m,i)$, + Send $S_C(R^j)$. + +Exchange phase 2. + Set $Beta_j = H(beta_j)$ for $j=1\ldots\kappa$ except $\gamma$, + keep $Beta_gamma$ untouched. + Verify $M$ with $\mpath(m,i)$ including $\mcoin(m,i)$. + Verify $\mcoin(m,i) = H( Beta_1 || .. || Beta_kappa )$. + For $j=1 \cdots \kappa$ except $\gamma$: + Decrypt $s^j$ from $E^i$ using $k = H(beta_j || l^j C)$ + Compute $c^j$, $m^j$, and $b^j$ from $s^j$. + Compute $C^j = c^j G$ too. + Verify $B^i = B_{b^j}(C^j || \mroot(m^j))$. + If verifications pass then send $S_{d_i}(B^\gamma)$. + + +\section{Withdrawal} + + +\bibliographystyle{alpha} +\bibliography{taler,rfc} + +% \newpage +% \appendix + +% \section{} + + + +\end{document} + + + +$l$ denotes Merkle tree levels +yields $2^l$ leaves +costs $2^{l+1}$ hashing operations + +$a$ denotes number of leaves used +yields $2^{a l}$ outcomes + + + + + + +commit H(h) and h l C and E_{l C)(..) +reveal h and l + + + +x_n ... x_1 c G + + + + + + +waiting period of 10 min + + + + -- cgit v1.2.3 From f9d4a9671521e77d3235364e98b19a1c7cc08cb9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Dold Date: Tue, 19 Apr 2016 23:11:47 +0200 Subject: move currency to taler section --- src/exchange/taler-exchange-aggregator.c | 4 ++-- src/exchange/taler-exchange-httpd.c | 4 ++-- 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/exchange/taler-exchange-aggregator.c b/src/exchange/taler-exchange-aggregator.c index e4ba975a2..0cb47667f 100644 --- a/src/exchange/taler-exchange-aggregator.c +++ b/src/exchange/taler-exchange-aggregator.c @@ -249,12 +249,12 @@ exchange_serve_process_config () { if (GNUNET_OK != GNUNET_CONFIGURATION_get_value_string (cfg, - "exchange", + "taler", "currency", &exchange_currency_string)) { GNUNET_log_config_missing (GNUNET_ERROR_TYPE_ERROR, - "exchange", + "taler", "currency");
