Anonymised Fixed-Ring Identification Using Decentralised Identifiers
This paper proposes Anonymised Fixed-Ring Identification for Decentralised Identity Documents which uses an anonymity property ensured by ring signatures to allow users to identify themselves through digital signatures without revealing which public key they used.

EDPS decentralised social media pilot: the end of a successful story
Two years ago, the EDPS embarked on a pioneering journey to launch two social media platforms, EU Voice and EU Video. The pilot project has proved successful in delivering alternative, privacy-friendly and user-focused social media platforms. It is time to review the results.On 28 April 2022, ...

Decentralised Moderation for Interoperable Social Networks: A Conversation-based Approach for Pleroma and the Fediverse
The recent development of decentralised and interoperable social networks (such as the "fediverse") creates new challenges for content moderators. This is because millions of posts generated on one server can easily "spread" to another, even if the recipient server has very different moderation policies. An obvious solution would be to leverage moderation tools to automatically tag (and filter) posts that contravene moderation policies, e.g. related to toxic speech. Recent work has exploited th…

Engineering consensus in static networks with unknown disruptors
Distributed control increases system scalability, flexibility, and redundancy. Foundational to such decentralisation is consensus formation, by which decision-making and coordination are achieved. However, decentralised multi-agent systems are inherently vulnerable to disruption. To develop a resilient consensus approach, inspiration is taken from the study of social systems and their dynamics; specifically, the Deffuant Model. A dynamic algorithm is presented enabling efficient consensus to be…

Apparently even the European Data Protection Supervisor #EDPS , can't find the funds for it's mastodon servers. Which is bizar if you think about all the "talk" about not relying on #bigtech , a more independent EU, open standards, security, importance of reliable information etc.

Topology-Based Reconstruction Prevention for Decentralised Learning
Decentralised learning has recently gained traction as an alternative to federated learning in which both data and coordination are distributed over its users. To preserve data confidentiality, decentralised learning relies on differential privacy, multi-party computation, or a combination thereof. However, running multiple privacy-preserving summations in sequence may allow adversaries to perform reconstruction attacks. Unfortunately, current reconstruction countermeasures either cannot trivia…
