In episode 10 of TL;DR, we discuss CISPA Faculty Dr. Julian Loss’s newest research project on so called „mix nets“: networks that can help anonymize internet traffic. The project recently received external funding by the web3 foundation. Julian tells us why a standard VPN is not a perfect solution for privacy and anonymity, how to formally prove security of a concept in cybersecurity and why cryptocurrencies could help demonopolize electronic payments in the future.
