There is an old Irish story of a man who dreamt for three straight nights of treasure in a specific location under a stone; on the fourth night he went out with a neighbour to dig for it. The two men used holy water to mark a circle around the stone to keep the fairies out and began digging. The fairies appeared in the form of horses but couldn't approach due to the circle of holy water so when the men found the gold the fairies turned it all into frogs. Nonetheless the men filled their sack with the frogs and when they got home they found the sack filled with gold.

PDFS: Practical Data Feed Service for Smart Contracts

Look it up. Here's a sample:
"Smart contracts are a new paradigm that emerged with the rise of the blockchain technology. They allow untrusting parties to arrange agreements. These agreements are encoded as a programming language code and deployed on a blockchain platform, where all participants execute them and maintain their state. Smart contracts are promising since they are automated and decentralized, thus limiting the involvement of third trusted parties, and can contain monetary transfers. Due to these features, many people believe that smart contracts will revolutionize the way we think of distributed applications, information sharing, financial services, and infrastructures.
To release the potential of smart contracts, it is necessary to connect the contracts with the outside world, such that they can understand and use information from other infrastructures. For instance, smart contracts would greatly benefit when they have access to web content. However, there are many challenges associated with realizing such a system, and despite the existence of many proposals, no solution is secure, provides easily-parsable data, introduces small overheads, and is easy to deploy.
In this paper we propose PDFS, a practical system for data feeds that combines the advantages of the previous schemes and introduces new functionalities. PDFS extends content providers by including new features for data transparency and consistency validations. This combination provides multiple benefits like content which is easy to parse and efficient authenticity verification without breaking natural trust chains. PDFS keeps content providers auditable, mitigates their malicious activities (like data modification or censorship), and allows them to create a new business model. We show how PDFS is integrated with existing web services, report on a PDFS implementation and present results from conducted case studies and experiments."

'A Blockchain based Witness Model for Trustworthy Cloud Service Level Agreement Enforcement'

Worth looking into. Here's a sample:
"Traditional cloud Service Level Agreement (SLA) suffers from lacking a trustworthy platform for automatic enforcement. The emerging blockchain technique brings in an immutable solution for tracking transactions among business partners. However, it is still very challenging to prove the credibility of possible violations in the SLA before recording them onto the blockchain. To tackle this challenge, we propose a witness model using game theory and the smart contract techniques. The proposed model extends the existing service model with a new role called “witness” for detecting and reporting service violations. Witnesses gain revenue as an incentive for performing these duties, and the payoff function is carefully designed in a way that trustworthiness is guaranteed: in order to get the maximum profit, the witness has to always tell the truth. This is analyzed and proved through game theory using the Nash equilibrium principle. In addition, an unbiased sortition algorithm is proposed to ensure the randomness of the independent witnesses selection from the decentralized witness pool, to avoid possible unfairness or collusion. An auditing mechanism is also introduced in the paper to detect potential irrational or malicious witnesses. We have prototyped the system leveraging the smart contracts of Ethereum blockchain. Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed model and indicate good performance in accordance with the design expectations."

ABSTRACT: -Government officials, pundits, and citizens alike have often commented about or bemoan the fact that many elections are plagued by low voter turnout. That's true even for president elections in the US. Blockchain could reverse the course of civilization and upend the world's most powerful companies Businesses often win by centralizing resources and extracting value, and today's governments and financial systems empower them to do it. Blockchain changes the equation. Online voting as an alternative to paper ballots or electronic voting machines has been suggested as a way to not only boost the number of active voters, but possibly even address election security and integrity issues. Might blockchain, a technology that continues to draw attention from technology.While the concept of block chain is not necessarily easy to grasp or explain, blockchain voting could see some momentum in the years to come as it's explored for various types of elections. At the very least, election officials, politicians, and vote counters need to be aware of the potential of this new voting mechanism.

>The world is becoming more and more digitized. Most companies use computers in their
everyday work and more and more people use their smart phones to do work on. One
industry that so far has not adopted new technology in the same pace as other industries,
is the insurance industry. The reason for this could be because of internal struggles over
resources and career advancement within management (Knights & Murray, 1992). This
is about to change though. In 2016 the Blockchain Insurance Industry Initiative (B3i) was
formed as a collaboration between insurers and reinsurers to find out how Distributed
Ledger Technologies (DLT) could benefit all the different stakeholders in the value chain
(B3i, 2017). For instance, blockchain technology can offer more than just a way to create
digital currencies (Nofer, Gomber, Hinz & Shiereck, 2016). Furthermore, it can be used
as a replacement for the intermediate trust such as banks or governments because security
is built-in. Instead of allowing banks or other institutions to act as guarantee, trust can be
used by the blockchain technology and allow digital contracts to form (Alcazar, 2017).

Abstract—Many blockchain transactions require blockchain- external data sources to provide data. Oracle systems have been proposed as a link between blockchains and blockchain- external resources. However, these Oracle systems vary greatly in assumptions and applicability and each system addresses the challenge of data on-chaining partly. We argue that Data On- chaining must be done in a trustworthy manner and, as a first contribution, define a set of key requirements for Trustworthy Data On-chaining. Further, we provide an in-depth assessment and comparison of state-of-the-art Oracle systems with regards to these requirements. This differentiation pinpoints the need for a uniform understanding of and directions for future research on Trustworthy Data On-chaining.

"The Blockchain is a newly emerging technology recently generalized to many areas of activity. Its decentralized mode of operation fits perfectly into several scenarios where the primary challenge lies in improving machine-to-machine communication and the ability to achieve secure transfers with value-added services. IoT networks are one of the possible areas of application of Blockchain technology since the current of IoT networks architecture has limitations that do not comply with industry requirements, which can be overcome by improving communications between devices and by accessing more advanced forms of aggregation and collected data consumption.
This work assesses the combination of these two paradigms - IoT and Blockchain -, to evaluate how the IoT can benefit from the functionalities offered by the Blockchain: a more economical storage system, full decentralization and true redundancy, trust without a central authority and improved security. On the other hand, Blockchain as a financial infrastructure for IoT is also a fundamental aspect of this work. In the built-in proof of concept, this scenario is implemented, since data captured by a sensor can be transacted to a requesting entity.
Statistical and performance analysis are performed on the implemented architecture, and some areas of improvement are also pointed out that could to leverage the system’s adoption in real life situations."

Introducing Zlite.

Abstract. Cryptocurrencies record transactions between parties in a blockchain maintained by a peer-to-peer network. In most cryptocurren- cies, transactions explicitly identify the previous transaction providing the funds they are spending, revealing the amount and sender/recipient pseudonyms. This is a considerable privacy issue. Zerocash resolves this by using zero-knowledge proofs to hide both the source, destination and amount of the transacted funds. To receive payments in Zerocash, how- ever, the recipient must scan the blockchain, testing if each transaction is destined for them. This is not practical for mobile and other bandwidth constrained devices. In this paper, we build ZLiTE, a system that can support the so called “light clients”, which can receive transactions aided by a server equipped with a Trusted Execution Environment. Even with the use of a TEE, this is not a trivial problem. First, we must ensure that server processing the blockchain does not leak sensitive information via side channels. Second, we need to design a bandwidth efficient mech- anism for the client to keep an up-to-date version of the witness needed in order to spend the funds they previously received.

'Enforcing Private Data Usage Control with Blockchain and Attested Off-chain Contract Execution'

"The abundance of rich varieties of data is enabling many transformative applications of big data analytics that have profound societal impacts. However, there are also increasing concerns regarding the improper use of individual users' private data. Many argue that the technology that customizes our experience in the cyber domain is threatening the fundamental civil right to privacy.
In this paper, we propose PrivacyGuard, a system that leverages smart contract in blockchain and trusted execution environment to enable individuals' control over other parties' access and use of their private data. In our design, smart contracts are used to specify data usage policy (i.e. who can use what data under which conditions along with how the data can be used), while the distributed ledger is used to keep an irreversible and non-repudiable record of data usage. To address the contract execution efficiency problem, as well as to prevent exposing user data on the publicly viewable blockchain, we construct a novel off-chain contract execution engine which realizes trustworthy contract execution off-chain in an trusted execution environment (TEE). By running the contract program inside a hardware-assisted TEE, the proposed off-chain trustworthy contract execution improves system efficiency significantly, as its correctness does not rely on distributed consensus which essentially requires the contract program be executed on all miner nodes. In order to leverage TEE in off-chain execution, PrivacyGuard has to several technical challenges such as synchronous function completion and scalability mitigation in blockchain platform. We build and deploy a prototype of PrivacyGuard using Ethereum and Intel SGX, and our experiments demonstrate the feasibility to support data-intensive applications using data from a large number of users."

FastKitten: Practical Smart Contracts on Bitcoin

Authors:
Poulami Das, Lisa Eckey, Tommaso Frassetto, David Gens, Kristina Hostáková, Patrick Jauernig, Sebastian Faust, and Ahmad-Reza Sadeghi, Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany

Abstract:
Smart contracts are envisioned to be one of the killer applications of decentralized cryptocurrencies. They enable self-enforcing payments between users depending on complex program logic. Unfortunately, Bitcoin – the largest and by far most widely used cryptocurrency – does not offer support for complex smart contracts. Moreover, simple contracts that can be executed on Bitcoin are often cumbersome to design and very costly to execute. In this work we present FastKitten, a practical framework for executing arbitrarily complex smart contracts at low costs over decentralized cryptocurrencies which are designed to only support simple transactions. To this end, FastKitten leverages the power of trusted computing environments (TEEs), in which contracts are run off-chain to enable efficient contract execution at low cost. We formally prove that FastKitten satisfies strong security properties when all but one party are malicious. Finally, we report on a prototype implementation which supports arbitrary contracts through a scripting engine, and evaluate performance through benchmarking a provably fair online poker game. Our implementation illustrates that FastKitten is practical for complex multi-round applications with a very small latency. Combining these features, FastKitten is the first truly practical framework for complex smart contract execution over Bitcoin.

ROTE: Rollback Protection for Trusted Execution

Authors:
Sinisa Matetic, Mansoor Ahmed, Kari Kostiainen, Aritra Dhar, David Sommer, and Arthur Gervais, ETH Zurich; Ari Juels, Cornell Tech; Srdjan Capkun, ETH Zurich

Abstract:
Security architectures such as Intel SGX need protection against rollback attacks, where the adversary violates the integrity of a protected application state by replaying old persistently stored data or by starting multiple application instances. Successful rollback attacks have serious consequences on applications such as financial services. In this paper, we propose a new approach for rollback protection on SGX. The intuition behind our approach is simple. A single platform cannot efficiently prevent rollback, but in many practical scenarios, multiple processors can be enrolled to assist each other. We design and implement a rollback protection system called ROTE that realizes integrity protection as a distributed system. We construct a model that captures adversarial ability to schedule enclave execution and show that our solution achieves a strong security property: the only way to violate integrity is to reset all participating platforms to their initial state. We implement ROTE and demonstrate that distributed rollback protection can provide significantly better performance than previously known solutions based on local non-volatile memory.

"A smart contract is hard to patch for bugs once it is deployed, irrespective of the money it holds. A recent bug caused losses worth around $50 million of cryptocurrency. We present ZEUS—a framework to verify the correctness and validate the fairness of smart contracts. We consider correctness as adherence to safe programming practices, while fairness is adherence to agreed upon higher-level business logic. ZEUS leverages both abstract interpretation and symbolic model checking, along with the power of constrained horn clauses to quickly verify contracts for safety. We have built a prototype of ZEUS for Ethereum and Fabric blockchain platforms, and evaluated it with over 22.4K smart contracts. Our evaluation indicates that about 94.6% of contracts (containing cryptocurrency worth more than $0.5 billion) are vulnerable. ZEUS is sound with zero false negatives and has a low false positive rate, with an order of magnitude improvement in analysis time as compared to prior art."

Blockchain and Trusted Computing: Problems, Pitfalls, and a Solution for Hyperledger Fabric

Marcus Brandenburger, Christian Cachin, Rüdiger Kapitza, Alessandro Sorniotti

A smart contract on a blockchain cannot keep a secret because its data is replicated on all nodes in a network. To remedy this problem, it has been suggested to combine blockchains with trusted execution environments (TEEs), such as Intel SGX, for executing applications that demand privacy. Untrusted blockchain nodes cannot get access to the data and computations inside the TEE.
This paper first explores some pitfalls that arise from the combination of TEEs with blockchains. Since TEEs are, in principle, stateless they are susceptible to rollback attacks, which should be prevented to maintain privacy for the application. However, in blockchains with non-final consensus protocols, such as the proof-of-work in Ethereum and others, the contract execution must handle rollbacks by design. This implies that TEEs for securing blockchain execution cannot be directly used for such blockchains; this approach works only when the consensus decisions are final.
Second, this work introduces an architecture and a prototype for smart-contract execution within Intel SGX technology for Hyperledger Fabric, a prominent platform for enterprise blockchain applications. Our system resolves difficulties posed by the execute-order-validate architecture of Fabric and prevents rollback attacks on TEE-based execution as far as possible. For increasing security, our design encapsulates each application on the blockchain within its own enclave that shields it from the host system. An evaluation shows that the overhead moving execution into SGX is within 10%-20% for a sealed-bid auction application.

Ethereum And ChainLink are both dumping to hell.

It’ll be a long time (if ever) until a business pays for an Ethereum or ChainLink token

The thread is signaling.

First off, who has the intellect to read through the various documents OP has guided us to read?

OP is signalling to the under 40 cent crowd and he certainly has my attention.

Reading his posts and fucking off at work.

I read it, it stinks. Smell ya later linkie

[Anonymous No.15431830]

Those who said Sergey has no vision (the same speech!) have not been paying attention, particularly to his earliest appearances.

Chainlink is being constructed to fill the role of an idealised arbiter of truth, connected to the most perfectly dispassionate executor, in the form of public smart contract chains.

This is in fulfilment of the deepest Platonic ideals of contract and governance that have ever been conceived, but which have remained out of reach, mere approximations even under the highest forms of lawful Republic, as at every step human capriciousness asserts itself and corrodes the final product, the freedom of contract found when our pledges are given force by Leviathan. Alas, ‘from the crooked timbers of humanity, no straight thing was ever made’.

By redrawing the locus of consensus as that of a precise ledger with sound game-theoretical guarantees at its edges, and iron-clad stricture within, rather than a continuously renegotiated knife fight, the level of trust required to engage in mutually beneficial enterprise plummets precipitously.

But what does it plummet to? The trust required is now neatly circumscribed to the trust in the information delivered unto our new Leviathan. There is fortunately a market for this trust, a pool of agents who are willing to stake their reputation and collateral on any piece of digitisable information on which it is possible to come to consensus. The truth is a most excellent Schelling point, and one which well-incentivised agents can reliably settle on.

Do not underestimate the power and the generality of this arrangement in its maturity, nor the amount of human and economic potential that this will unlock.

Welcome to the trust market
