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."])</script>

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: weâre 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.

1<script>self.__next_f.push([1,"Vector commitments with subvector openings (SVC) allow one to open a committed vector at a set of positions with an opening of size independent of both the vector's length and the number of opened positions. 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."])</script>
