Wavelength-Division Multiplexed Optical Cryptocurrency
We propose an optical proof-of-work scheme that feeds data encoded into wavelength-division multiplexed modes through a programmable photonic network. We verify robustness by modeling network dispersion, allowing for energy-efficient optical alternatives t ...
IEEE2021ICO investors
Rüdiger Fahlenbrach, Marc André Frattaroli
We conduct a detailed analysis of investors in successful initial coin offerings (ICOs). The average ICO has 4700 contributors. The median participant contributes small amounts and many investors sell their tokens before the underlying product is developed ...
SPRINGER2020Essays in Financial Economics
This thesis consists of three chapters that study separate subjects in the area of corporate governance and financial intermediation.
In the first chapter, I study a protectionist anti-takeover law introduced in 2014 in France that covers a subset of all ...
EPFL2020Identity and Personhood in Digital Democracy: Evaluating Inclusion, Equality, Security, and Privacy in Pseudonym Parties and Other Proofs of Personhood
Digital identity seems at first like a prerequisite for digital democracy: how can we ensure “one person, one vote” online without identifying voters? But the full gamut of digital identity solutions – e.g., online ID checking, biometrics, self-sovereign i ...
2020The Anatomy of a Cryptocurrency Pump-and-Dump Scheme
While pump-and-dump schemes have attracted the attention of cryptocurrency observers and regulators alike, this paper represents the first detailed empirical query of pump-and-dump activities in cryptocurrency markets. We present a case study of a recent p ...
USENIX ASSOC2019Secured Routines: Language-based Construction of Trusted Execution Environments
James Richard Larus, Edouard Bugnion, Adrien Ghosn
Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), such as Intel SGX enclaves, use hardware to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of operations on sensitive data. While the technology is available on many processors, the complexity of its programming model and i ...
USENIX ASSOC2019Model Checking of Distributed Algorithm Implementations
It is notoriously difficult to develop reliable, high-performance distributed systems that run over asynchronous networks. Even if a distributed system is based on a well-understood distributed algorithm, its implementation can contain errors arising from ...
EPFL2011Factoring by electronic mail
Describes a distributed implementation of two factoring algorithms, the elliptic curve method (ECM) and the multiple polynomial quadratic sieve algorithm (MPQS). The authors' ECM-implementation on a network of DEC MicroVAX processors has factored several n ...
