  1. [en] Signal #messenger: "two practical attacks that break the integrity properties of #Signal in its advertised #threat model" - Patched

    Paper #ETHZ

    "... protocol for resolving identities based on usernames and on phone numbers introduced a #vulnerability that allows a malicious server to inject arbitrary messages into one-to-one conversations under specific circumstances"

    "The second #attack is even more severe. It arises from Signal's Sealed Sender (SSS) feature, designed to allow sender identities to be hidden ... a combination of two errors in the #SSS implementation in #Android allows a #malicious server to #inject arbitrary messages into both one-to-one and group conversations."

  12. [en] Tackle storage demands of anonymous cryptocurrencies

    "This work tackles the ever-growing #storage demands of #anonymous cryptocurrencies. It introduces a new scheme that randomly partitions the fresh outputs of transactions into fixed-size bins. Subsequent transactions reference these outputs when they transfer the tokens further."

    "The basic idea is that once a bin has been referenced as many times as its size, it can safely be pruned from the ledger. This preserves both #privacy and #security, but reduces the data that needs to be stored on the #distributed #ledger."
