SoK: Delay-based Cryptography

ePrint Report: SoK: Delay-based Cryptography

Liam Medley, Angelique Faye Loe, Elizabeth A. Quaglia

In this work, we provide a systematisation of knowledge of delay-based cryptography, in which we discuss and compare the existing primitives within cryptography that utilise a time-delay.
We start by considering the role of time within cryptography, explaining broadly what a delay aimed to achieve at its inception and now, in the modern age.
We then move on to describing the underlying assumptions used to achieve these …
