It proposes paired cognitive, process-tracing, and neural-behavioral datasets to train models on cognitive process rather than behavioral outcome alone.","date":"2026-03-03T00:00:00.000Z","authors":[{"name":"Patrick J.

Unlike traditional sharding designs, based on partitioning the state of the network, our solution centers on the concept of subnets –which are organized hierarchically– and can be spawned on-demand to manage new state. Child subnets are firewalled from parent subnets, have their own specific policies, and run a different consensus algorithm, increasing the network capacity and enabling new applications. Moreover, they benefit from the security of parent subnets by periodically checkpointing state. In this paper, we introduce the overall system architecture, our detailed designs for cross-net transaction handling, and the open questions that we are still exploring.","date":"2022-06-24T00:00:00.000Z","authors":[{"name":"Alfonso de la Rocha","url":"https://www.plrd.org/authors/alfonso-delarocha/"}],"areas":["distributed-systems"],"canonicalKind":"native","canonicalUrl":"https://www.plrd.org/talks/consensusfactory-alfonso/","sourceUrl":"https://www.plrd.org/talks/consensusfactory-alfonso/","sources":[{"label":"PL R&D page","url":"https://www.plrd.org/talks/consensusfactory-alfonso/"},{"label":"Venue","url":"https://consensus-factory.io/"},{"label":"Recording","url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mw1pmzHe9ms"}],"coverage":"Talk summary and recording/venue links only.

Dead man switches exist for a reason...  In this talk we present a new form of vulnerability disclosure relying on timelock encryption of content: where you encrypt a message that cannot be decrypted until a given (future) time. This notion of timelock encryption first surfaced on the Cypherpunks mailing list in 1993 by the crypto-anarchist founder, Tim May, and to date while there have been numerous attempts to tackle it, none have been deployed at scale, nor made available to be used in any useful way. This changes today: we’re releasing a free, open-source tool that achieves this goal with proper security guarantees. We rely on threshold cryptography and decentralization of trust to exploit the existing League of Entropy (that is running a distributed, public, verifiable randomness beacon network) in order to do so. We will first cover what all of these means, we will then see how these building blocks allow us to deploy a responsible disclosure system that guarantees that your report will be fully disclosed after the time-to-patch has elapsed.

I will also present to you the current ecosystem around drand, and what it enables you to do differently and why it is desirable in a distributed, decentralized web to have public, verifiable randomness. Don’t worry though: we will first go through an easy overview of how it works without diving too much into the gory cryptographic details.

We have recently changed this status-quo by releasing a free, open-source tool that can finally achieve the lofty goal of encrypting things that cannot be decrypted until a given time has come in meaningful ways with proper security guarantees. In this talk, we will discover how our practical instantiation is relying on an existing threshold network running to produce distributed randomness, drand. We rely on threshold cryptography and decentralization of trust to exploit the existing League of Entropy in order to achieve our goal.

Especially when used in blockchain systems, where scalability is of great importance, purely asynchronous solutions suffer from high message complexity or strong assumptions that weaken the adversary. In particular, an adaptive adversary (roughly translating to DoS attacks in practice) is difficult to overcome without any synchrony assumptions while also keeping message complexity low. We are exploring an idea targeting exactly such an algorithm. Starting from Bracha’s algorithm for randomized Byzantine agreement with quadratic message complexity, we derive a protocol for multi-valued agreement with sub-quadratic message complexity.","date":"2023-03-30T00:00:00.000Z","authors":[{"name":"Henrique Moniz","url":"https://www.plrd.org/authors/henrique-moniz/"},{"name":"Matej Pavlovic","url":"https://www.plrd.org/authors/matej-pavlovic/"}],"areas":["distributed-systems"],"canonicalKind":"native","canonicalUrl":"https://www.plrd.org/talks/randomnesssummit23-matej/","sourceUrl":"https://www.plrd.org/talks/randomnesssummit23-matej/","sources":[{"label":"PL R&D page","url":"https://www.plrd.org/talks/randomnesssummit23-matej/"},{"label":"Venue","url":"https://lu.ma/randomness-summit-tokyo"},{"label":"Recording","url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktdc22teZxs"}],"coverage":"Talk summary and recording/venue links only.

We employ an existing threshold network, the League of Entropy, implementing threshold BLS in the context of Boneh and Franklin's identity-based encryption (IBE) At present this threshold network broadcasts BLS signatures over each round number, equivalent to the current time interval, and as such can be considered a decentralised key holder periodically publishing private keys for the IBE where identities are the round numbers. A noticeable advantage of this scheme is that only the encryptors and decryptors are required to perform any additional cryptographic operations; the threshold network can remain unaware of the TLE and does not have to change to support the scheme. We also release an open-source implementation of our scheme and a live web page that can be used in production now relying on the existing League of Entropy network acting as a distributed public randomness beacon service using threshold BLS signatures.","date":"2023-03-29T00:00:00.000Z","authors":[{"name":"Yolan Romailler","url":"https://www.plrd.org/authors/yolan-romailler/"}],"areas":["distributed-systems"],"canonicalKind":"native","canonicalUrl":"https://www.plrd.org/talks/rwc23-yolan/","sourceUrl":"https://www.plrd.org/talks/rwc23-yolan/","sources":[{"label":"PL R&D page","url":"https://www.plrd.org/talks/rwc23-yolan/"},{"label":"Recording","url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh849Ij3lhU"}],"coverage":"Talk summary and recording/venue links only.

We continue the study of SVC with two goals in mind: improving their efficiency and making them more suitable to decentralized settings. We address both problems by proposing a new notion for VC that we call incremental aggregation and that allows one to merge openings in a succinct way an unbounded number of times. This property leads to faster generation of openings via preprocessing and a method to generate openings in a distributed way. We then proceed to realize SVC with incremental aggregation. We provide two constructions in groups of unknown order. The first one, similarly to that of Boneh et al. (which supports only one-hop aggregation), has constant-size public parameters, commitments and openings. As an additional feature for this construction we propose efficient arguments of knowledge of subvector openings which immediately yields a keyless proof of storage with compact proofs. For our second construction, we propose an incremental aggregation method for the SVC of Lai-Malavolta; this has linear-size parameters but faster openings. Finally, we address a problem closely related to that of SVC: storing a file efficiently in completely decentralized networks. We introduce and construct verifiable decentralized storage (VDS), a cryptographic primitive that allows to check the integrity of a file stored by a network of nodes in a distributed and decentralized way. Our VDS constructions rely on our new vector commitment techniques.","date":"2020-07-01T00:00:00.000Z","authors":[{"name":"Matteo Campanelli","url":"https://www.plrd.org/authors/matteo-campanelli/"},{"name":"Dario Fiore","url":null},{"name":"Nicola Greco","url":"https://www.plrd.org/authors/nicola-greco/"},{"name":"Luca Nizzardo","url":"https://www.plrd.org/authors/luca-nizzardo/"},{"name":"Dimitris Kolonelos","url":null}],"areas":["cryptography"],"canonicalKind":"native","canonicalUrl":"https://www.plrd.org/talks/tpbc20-kolonelos/","sourceUrl":"https://www.plrd.org/talks/tpbc20-kolonelos/","sources":[{"label":"PL R&D page","url":"https://www.plrd.org/talks/tpbc20-kolonelos/"},{"label":"Venue","url":"https://eventum.upf.edu/51585/detail/theory-and-practice-of-blockchains-online-weekly-seminar-series-.html"},{"label":"Recording","url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFJMWA0Pk1s"}],"coverage":"Talk summary and recording/venue links only.
