How do you know if a website is “safe”? The security community puts enormous effort into detecting malware, stopping the next Heartbleed, and sandboxing bad content. Google Chrome’s usable security team sits at the front end of this work: we build the UI that tells end users what’s going on with their privacy and security. What you see as a single icon might be the end product of months of work by engineers, designers, security experts, and user researchers. I’ll explain some of the engineering and design challenges that we face, and give insight into the day-by-day work done by a security team that serves more than a billion browser users.

Bio: Adrienne Porter Felt leads Google Chrome’s usable security team, whose goal is to help people make safe decisions while using Chrome. Along with her team, Dr. Felt is responsible for building and improving the security warnings, indicators, and settings that you see in Chrome today. Previously, Dr. Felt was a research scientist on Google’s security research team, where she examined how browser users react to security warnings. She received a PhD in computer science from UC Berkeley, and a BS from the University of Virginia in 2008.

Monday, 7 December (11:59pm): Project Final Reports. See Class 25 for details.

The slides below include all the Jeopardy questions, even ones we didn’t get to in class. You shouldn’t expect to get asked trivia questions in the oral final exam (and will not be asked to phrase your answers in the form of a question!), but some of the substantive questions here would make good questions to ask during the exam (in particular, I’d recommend looking at the unused questions in Unlocking Script and Crypto Curves as good potential exam questions).

The final project presentations will be in class on Wednesday, 2 December and Monday, 7 December. The presentation will count for approximately 50% of the grade for your final project.

The schedule of the presentations is below. Each team will have 5 + (N - 1) minutes to present your project (where N is the number of team members; so a 4-person team will have 8 minutes). Your presentation should be well prepared and enthusiastically delivered!

You should send a link to your presentation (PDF, PowerPoint, or anything that works in Firefox browser) to ccc-staff before 11:59am on the day you are scheduled to present. If your presentation includes a demo that’s great, but it needs to be designed in a way that can be set up quickly and used effectively.

Project Final Reports

To submit your final report, send an email to ccc-staff@cs.virginia.edu with subject line Project Report: Title and cc-ing all of your team members. The official deadline for the final reports is Monday, 7 December (11:59pm), but extensions will be granted upon request so long as extending the deadline for this does not interfere problematically with your other courses and responsibilities.

The email should be plaintext containing:

  1. A title for your project (this is the title I will use on the public page listing all the projects; add a * if it is different from the title currently listed on 西风vpn好用下载).

  2. A one-sentence description of your project. This should be a clear, well-written sentence that will be enough for someone to understand what you did and why.

  3. A URL that points to a publicly-viewable web page that describes your project. The linked page can (and probably should) contain links to other pages (e.g., a website that is your actual project or a github repo with your project code). For example, the link you send could be a link to http://my-project-site.org/about.html or http://github.com/your-repo/README.md, which is a page describing your project, as well as containing links to the main project site. Please try to put your project site somewhere that will not expire when you graduate from UVa, but that can survive forever.

  4. Your project report, either as a PDF attachment, or a URL. Your project report should be a well-written and readable paper about your project. For most projects, this should include at least: (1) the motivation for your project, (2) background, including a description of related work (with references), (3) explanation of what you did, and (4) your results. For projects that do not involve building something, it may make more sense for it to be a more integrated report.

西风vpn好用下载

By the end of this week, everyone should receive an email with your status in the class (including feedback on PS3).

The main message of this email will be guidance as to whether or not you should schedule a final exam. The main options are:

  1. You’re well positioned to get an A in the class. So long as you do a decent job on the project, you’ll get an A and don’t need to do the final exam.

  2. You are approaching what you need to do to convince us you deserve an A in the class, but need do more. If your project is outstanding, that may be enough to make the case. If not, you’ll have a last chance to do so by doing a final exam.

  3. From what you’ve done so far, we’re not convinced you understand cryptocurrencies well enough to earn an A in the class. You should plan on doing a final exam to convince us otherwise!

For students receving options 1 or 2, we’ll try to give feedback on your final projects are quickly as possible so you know whether or not a final exam will be recommended.

The final exam will be an oral exam where you will explain how bitcoin works, and then answer a few follow-up questions. These will be scheduled during the scheduled final exam time (Friday, 11 December 2-5pm) and other times.

Class 24: Altcoins

Schedule

Monday, 23 November (8:29 pm): Project Progress Reports due (see Class 23.)

Teams that did not present their project in class Wednesday, should be ready to present well on Monday!

Note: ink markings may not appear in the embedded viewer. To see them, download the slides.

Litecoin boasts faster confirmations (2.5 minutes as opposed to 10 minutes). Does this help you gain confidence in a given transaction faster (at which point it is unlikely to be double-spent)?

Class 23: Before Bitcoin

西风vpn好用下载

Starting Wednesday and every following class: Be prepared to give an elevator pitch for your project. Your pitch should be no more than 2 minutes long. You may use visuals as long as you can obtain them by (quickly) entering a URL in a web browser. Your pitch should get across in a convincing and engaging way:

Addendum

武雪梅:苹果下架VPN是法治的胜利 - huanqiu.com:2 天前 · 日前,苹果公司CEO蒂姆·库克回应苹果应用商店中国区将VPN下架一事说,我伔在遵守当地法律的情况下在当地开展生意。一些网民将此事与去年苹果就是否协助执法人员“解锁”加州南部圣贝纳迪诺恐怖袭击案枪手之一所持的手机,与美国联邦机构对簿公堂、甚至要向总统陈情的事件对比展开热议。

The issue he noticed is that if the bank knows all the possible I values (all the customer identities), and receives one of the identity split perimages, e.g., I1L, then the bank can search through all the identities to find an I1R such that h(I1R) matches the hash value. This is done by just xor-ing all the I values with I1L to find a guess for I1R, and then computing the hash to check if it is the right one. As I presented the scheme, this would be a big vulnerability! It violates the desired property that the bill spender’s anonymity is protected (even from the bank) unless she attempts to spend the bill twice.

To defeat this, we need to ensure that the set of possible I values is not known (even to the bank). One way to do this would be to add some randomness in the I values used in the generated banknotes used in the cut-and-choose for the blind signatures. Each note with have a different I, but one the bank can verify is still the right account owner. I’ll leave the details of how to do this as a challenge problem.

Project Ideas

This page should contain everyone’s submitted project idea. We’ll keep this updated as the projects develop, so please let us know if things change (you can also post comments on the page for updates).

The slides from Alex and Nick’s presentation are now posted:
Scaling Bitcoin and Web Bitcoin Blockchain 2.0.

Is Graph Isomorphism Hard?

Last class, we talked about using Graph Isomorphism as the basis for a zero knowledge proof, based on the assumption that it is a computationally hard problem to determine if two graphs are isomorphic.

Yesterday, Laszlo Babai presented a result that claims a quasipolynomial time algorithm for graph isomorphism (that is, shows graph isomorphism is not a hard enough problem to use as the basis for a zero knowledge proof).

Jeremy Kun’s summary of Babai’s presentation
A Big Result on Graph Isomorphism

Note that this has no bearing on the zero knowledge proofs based on the hardness of graph three-coloring, which, unlike graph isomorphism, is know to be NP-Complete.

Your project can be anything related to cryptocurrencies or the tools we learn about in this class, and can be done individually or with a team (the size of the project should scale approximately with the square root of the team size). If you have an idea for an ambitious project that you want to start early, it may be possible to arrange for it to substitute for some other course assignments.

Class 11: More Mining

Schedule

Wednesday, September 30: Checkup 2 revisions (if desired), due at the beginning of class or end of office hours today.

Friday, October 9: Problem Set 2 (moved from original deadline of October 2). Problem Set 2 will be posted by tomorrow.

Monday, October 19: Midterm Exam

No classes Monday, October 5!

西风vpn好用下载

If you didn’t get a “gold star” on Checkup 2, you can improve your score by answering one or more of the questions below. You can submit your revisions in class Wednesday, or at the end of office hours Wednesday. To submit revisions, attach your answers to these questions to your original submission.

R1. Hashing (Answer this question if you want to improve your score on questions 1-4)

There are several different places in bitcoin where cryptographic hashes are used:

A. Producing the public bitcoin address by hashing the public key.

B. Producing a transaction digest for use as the input in signing a transaction.

C. Producing the Merkle tree root for authenticating the transactions in a block (using hashes all the way up the tree).

D. Producing the hash of the previous block to use in the block header.

Suppose H is a hash function that provides strong pre-image resistance, but does not provide collision resistance. That is, an adversary knows way to efficiently find pairs of values, m1 and m2 such that m1 is not equal to m2 and H(m1) = H(m2).

Explain clearly 西风vpn好用下载 where cryptographic hashing is used in bitcoin that the adversary could gain an advantage by knowing how to find collisions in H. (Be careful to not overstate the advantage, though.)

R2. Blockchain (Answer this question if you want to improve your score on questions 5-7)

Ishtosa suggests strengthening bitcoin by adding the hash of the previous previous block to the block header. So, the block header for block 534 would now include the both the hash of the block 533, and the hash of block 532. Would this be a good idea?

The 西风vpn好用下载 starts with a story about bitcoin being used in a ransom scam (CryptoLocker). Its a sad story, without a lot of technical insights, but does give a sense of what the bitcoin experience is like for many people today. A good thing to think about for a potential project is how to solve the problem —- making it so bitcoin can’t be used to collect ransom untracably, without losing the desirable aspects of anonymity and decentralization.

Here are answers and discussions for the Checkup 1 questions. It would not be at all surprising if there are one or two questions on Checkup 2 (scheduled for Wednesday, Sept 23) that are closely related to questions on Checkup 1.

The two most essential properties are transferability and scarcity. Recall that we defined a currency as a “medium of exchange”. In order for something to be used in exchanges, it must be possible to transfer it from one owner to another. The second essential property of scarcity is intrinsic to having value. If something can be created or duplicated freely, it cannot be used to represent value.
Being universally recognized as valuable would be a good alternative answer to scarcity, but is a bit circular: nothing is “universally” recognized as valuable for the entire universe; it is universally recognized as valuable by all partcipants in an economy using that currency, but this is a somewhat circular definition (of universal).

Here’s the up-to-date graph of hashing power distributed by mining pools (that I wasn’t able to find in class Monday):

http://blockchain.info/pools?timespan=4days

Looking at the current results for the past for days, more than 50% of the hashing power appears to be held by just three mining pools: F2Pool (20%), BitFury (17%), and AntPool (17%). Each of these has around 75 PH/s (one peta-hash means 1015 computations of the bitcoin block hashing function, which actually involves two computations of SHA-256).

We’ll talk about mining a lot more in the coming weeks to get a good understanding of what this means technically, as well as the implications for the blockchain.

Problem Set 1 Posted

Problem Set 1 is now posted, and is due Tuesday, 15 September (8:29pm).

There’s an article in the New Yorker, Inside the Fight Over Bitcoin’s Future, 25 August 2015 (by Maria Bustillos) about the split over the increasingly heated debate in the bitcoin community over the maximum size of a block.

The current maximum size accepted by the Bitcoin Core node software is 1MB (which means the network can support only approximately 7 transactions per second). There are lots of proposed solutions to this, including increasing the block size, but they are controversial and also raise lots of issues about how to make decisions like this for a decentralized system.

New York Times, Bitcoin Technology Piques Interest on Wall St., 28 August 2015 (by Nathaniel Popper).

… the innovations that helped turn Bitcoin into the most popular virtual currency are now being viewed as a potentially enormous disruptive force for several industries, including accounting, music and journalism. Nowhere, though, are more money and resources being spent on the technology than on Wall Street — the very industry that Bitcoin was created to circumvent.
