On the Anonymity of Peer-To-Peer Network Anonymity Schemes Used by Cryptocurrencies. (arXiv:2201.11860v1 [cs.CR])

Cryptocurrency systems can be subject to deanonymization attacks by
exploiting the network-level communication on their peer-to-peer network.
Adversaries who control a set of colluding node(s) within the peer-to-peer
network can observe transactions being exchanged and infer the parties
involved. Thus, various network anonymity schemes have been proposed to
mitigate this problem, with some solutions providing theoretical anonymity
guarantees.

In this work, we model such peer-to-peer network anonymity solutions and
evaluate their anonymity guarantees. To do so, we propose a novel …
