Monero is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency that deploys the Dandelion++ protocol and incorporates anonymity networks (such as Tor and I2P) to prevent malicious attackers from linki…
Deanonymizing Bitcoin Transactions via Network Traffic Analysis with Semi-supervised Learning
Shihan Zhang, Bing Han, Chuanyong Tian +3
Privacy protection mechanisms are a fundamental aspect of security in cryptocurrency systems, particularly in decentralized networks such as Bitcoin. Although Bitcoin addresses are…
Invisible Trails? An Identity Alignment Scheme based on Online Tracking
Ruisheng Shi, Zhiyuan Peng, Tong Fu +3
Many tracking companies collect user data and sell it to data markets and advertisers. While they claim to protect user privacy by anonymizing the data, our research reveals that s…
CryptoCatch: Cryptomining Hidden Nowhere
Ruisheng Shi, Ziding Lin, Haoran Sun +5
Cryptomining poses significant security risks, yet traditional detection methods like blacklists and Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) are often ineffective against encrypted mining tra…
Eclipse Attacks on Ethereum's Peer-to-Peer Network
Ruisheng Shi, Yuxuan Liang, Zijun Guo +4
Eclipse attacks isolate blockchain nodes by monopolizing their peer-to-peer connections. The attacks were extensively studied in Bitcoin (SP'15, SP'20, CCS'21, SP'23) and Monero (N…
