Course Description

Overview

Explore a critical analysis of the security implications of using Bitcoin over the Tor network in this 22-minute IEEE conference talk. Delve into the potential vulnerabilities and attack vectors created by combining these two technologies. Learn how a low-resource attacker can potentially gain control of information flows, link user transactions, manipulate block and transaction relay, and even fingerprint users. Examine the presented research findings, including methods for user isolation, fingerprinting techniques, and the challenges posed by the "respond problem." Gain insights into the proposed solutions and their potential impact on Bitcoin privacy and security when used in conjunction with anonymity networks.
