Fast Privacy-Enhanced and Regulation-Friendly Distributed Payments - Aggelos Kiayias
Channel: ConsensusLab
Date: 2023-06-14

Aggelos Kiayias (University of Edinburgh and IOG)

We present a class of distributed payment protocols that reconcile the need for privacy with other regulatory compliance requirements in the context of money transfers such as KYC-AML. The protocol settles online payments optimally fast in the optimistic case (when both payer and payee are honest and available). We discuss applications in the context of central bank digital currencies and cryptocurrencies. Based on joint work with Amirreza Sarencheh and Markulf Kohlweiss.
