2017-08-29 | Errata: Statement about BOLT corrected | Jeffrey Burdges | |
Discussion : Christian & Florian, This is about the UI paper in SPACE, not the protocol paper with real crypto discussions. And the text in question never existed in the protocol paper. Ian, I'm the member of our team who looked into BOLT the most, mostly looking to see if any of the ideas helped us. I might manage to reconstruct more details later, but right now my description there sounds bizarre and wrong. In Taler, our denomination key expirations limit the exchange's liability to double its deposits, even in the case that its private keys are all compromised and used to create unbacked coins. In practice, offline ecash schemes lack this limit due to their decreased ability to rotate denomination keys. I do not see why I wrote that BOLT lacked this property: If I recall, both BOLT payment channel types are created with fixed initial value commitments. In particular, intermediaries have already committed the maximum funds they could transfer to each merchant. That would prevent unbacked transfers in the payment channel, and thus limit liability, even when the intermediary gets compromised. There is an anonymity cost if BOLT's approach limits the number of users in payment channels with each intermediary of course. I do not know if a compromised BOLT intermediary could complete payments to merchants while refunding customers, but even if so that's still not the sort of "unlimited" liability you get in offline ecash schemes. It's just the sort of 2x limit on liability that Taler provides. In BOLT, the x would be value committed to outgoing channels, while in Taler x is value deposited by customers, so I suppose the intermediary could technically be robbed of their money without seeing any incoming money. That's not "unlimited" though. It's limited by the intermediary's commitments to the network. I doubt I even thought about it this deeply though when I wrote that. I think once-upon-a-time I wanted to express some vague concern around intermediaries and anonymity sets in BOLT, but never thought about it clearly, and later managed to confuse myself with conventional ecash issues when discussing related work with Christian while we were writing this usability paper. Sorry for writing what appears to be nonsense!
