Electric Coin Co. (ECC) has entered into an agreement with Protocol Labs, the Filecoin Foundation, and the Ethereum Foundation to explore Halo R&D, including how the technology might be used in their respective ecosystems.
Sean Bowe, an engineer and cryptographer at Electric Coin Company (ECC), has discovered a technique for creating practical, scalable and trustless cryptographic proving systems, ending an almost decade-long pursuit by
Since the successful Sapling network upgrade, we have already seen an increased adoption of shielded addresses in the Zcash ecosystem. Services like mining pools are beginning to offer shielded address
The engineering and cryptography team at Zcash makes very large efforts to minimize risk. This is always a positive thing, but perhaps even more crucial when using very new cryptography.
zk-SNARKs – the zero-knowledge proofs at the core of Zcash – require a parameter generation ceremony to take place for every statement that you wish to create proofs about. Although
New York, October 17, 2017 – The Zerocoin Electric Coin Company and J.P. Morgan today announced the integration, and initial release of, zero-knowledge security layer (ZSL) technology on Quorum, J.P.
The Ethereum Metropolis (Byzantium) upgrade adds a new cryptographic tool (zk-SNARKs) that was pioneered by Zcash. The addition of zk-SNARK technology into Ethereum is another validation, like the JP Morgan
Zcash’s next major upgrade, codenamed Sapling, will feature a set of groundbreaking performance improvements for our shielded transactions. In the last blog post of this series, we talked about a
Zcash’s next major protocol upgrade, codenamed Sapling, will feature a number of improvements to the performance, security and usability of our shielded transactions. This is the first in a series
Last year, I created a project called pay-to-sudoku which was the world’s first implementation of a zero-knowledge contingent payment (ZKCP). ZKCPs were invented in 2011 by Gregory Maxwell, and are
<< Part VI In Part VI, we saw an outline of the Pinocchio zk-SNARK. We were missing two things – an HH that supports both addition and multiplication that is
The Zerocoin Electric Coin Company (ZECC), developers of the Zcash™ digital currency, today announced a partnership with J.P. Morgan, one of the world’s largest banks, to add technology from Zcash
