报告简介: Monero is one of the most popular blockchain-based privacy-preserving crypto-currencies with a market cap of over 1.7 billion USD. At its core is a protocol known as RingCT, which aims to provide transaction privacy by hiding the identity of the sender and the receiver, as well as the transaction amount. 

In this talk, we present our a new construction of cryptographic accumulators, together with several zero-knowledge protocols to demonstrate statements about elements accumulated. Based on our accumulator, we improve RingCT. The resulting protocol, known as RingCT 2.0, reduces the transaction size from O(n) to O(1), where n is a parameter governing sender privacy. We conclude the talk with a few issues in ringCT 2.0.
