Topic:

Analysis of Bitcoin Network Structure and Anonymity Characteristics

In 2008 a paper published under the name Satoshi Nakamoto describes a system for anonymous and decentralized electronic cash called Bitcoin. The Bitcoin network uses a proof-of-work scheme to verify transactions, which are then saved in a permanent ledger called the blockchain. This decentralized system is said to provide anonymity. In this talk, we will discuss the overall structure of the Bitcoin network and what privacy and anonymity implications lie within.
