No right to remain silent: Isolating Malicious Mixes

Mix networks are a key technology to provide network anonymity, used for messaging, voting and private lookups. However, simple mix networks are insecure against malicious mixes, which can drop or delay packets to facilitate traffic analysis attacks. Mix networks with provable robustness address this by using complex and expensive proofs of correct shuffling, which come with a cost and make ass...

Unfortunately, it’s one that growing numbers of physicians can’t afford. Physicians and patients in 20 states are facing a “full-blown medical liability crisis” (up from 12 states two years ago), and at lea...

There are many researchers working on solutions to reduce these costs, but there has been little research into exactly what these costs are, and what the ties are between these costs and users’ choices between ways to access their local information. This paper provide...
