DogByte Attack: Playing Red Team for Eth2.0 VDF
Diogenes is an ambitious project to design and run a “ceremony” to generate an RSA modulus. The Ceremony is a multiparty computation (MPC) protocol of an unprecedented scale. Once completed, the generated modulus will be incorporated into a VDF protocol, which will be used as part of an unbiased random beacon in the Eth2.0 blockchain.
MPC 2020 Predictions
At ZenGo one of our core technologies is secure multiparty computation (MPC). MPC allows independent parties to execute functions over individually secret data without disclosing the data itself. MPC has been carefully studied and developed over the last 4 decades, with a multitude of cryptographic protocols proposed by academics (ranging from mental poker to secret coding protocols) but only recently the technology has made its practical breakthrough into blockchain industry.
Introducing Multi-Party ECDSA library
In Multiparty computation (MPC), a set of parties that do not trust each other try to jointly compute a function over their inputs while keeping those inputs private.
