Cryptography has experienced more breakthroughs in the past decade than in the previous four decades combined, largely propelled by the revolutionary impact of decentralised technologies such as cryptocurrencies.

However there is one field in cryptography that is still under radar and has potential to unlock a whole new set of innovations which were not possible before.

The Class Groups

Innovations includes new consensus mechanisms that address the limitations of PoW and PoS, schemes that allow training of powerful AI models using encrypted data, and advancements that eliminate the need for trusted setups in creating Zk-Snarks, etc

Surprisingly, the class group crypto system is still overlooked by some of the popular research foundations.

Where did it start?

Castagnos-Laguillaumie, (https://t.co/cqQa2nXxKQ) introduced a linearly homomorphic encryption scheme that improves upon Paillier’s encryption. It eliminated the need for range proofs and finds applications in MPC and threshold cryptography.

Why does it matters?

Class groups of imaginary quadratic fields, commonly referred to simply as class groups, are emerging as a trust-less alternative to RSA groups because, unlike RSA, class groups do not require a (distributed) trusted setup to establish a cryptographically secure group of unknown order.

However, the adoption of class groups in practical applications has been slow. This can largely be attributed to two main challenges:

1) The scarcity of developer tools, such as high-quality, open-source libraries, which hinders wider experimentation and deployment.

2) A lack of deep understanding of the cryptographic assumptions underpinning class groups.

To help bridge these gaps, let me share some notable efforts and resources in the field:

1. For those interested in diving into the basics, @mstrakastrak's insightful blog post offers an excellent introduction to class groups from two perspectives: the algebraic number theory angle, focusing on the ideal class group, and the binary quadratic form, which discusses the form class group. This can be accessed at: https://t.co/ipfKIJIwha.

2. Innovations in zero-knowledge proofs using class groups are highlighted by the work of @benediktbuenz, @benafisch, and @aszepieniec, who have used class groups of unknown order to construct a transparent Zk-Snark called Dark, with improvements later presented in Dew. The papers are available at https://t.co/o2pcm0tjLn and https://t.co/EwOWotaaPd, respectively.

3. The Chia Network, led by @bramcohen, leverages the unique properties of class groups in their blockchain network’s consensus mechanism, which incorporates a Verifiable Delay Function (VDF) that uses a class group. Chia network has a paper which can be used as a good starting point : https://t.co/nX2KlpXsVW

4. Recent advances in hashing into class groups, introduced by @Istvan_A_Seres et al, are explored in a paper : https://t.co/sGj3Rgjefc, that initiates a rigorous study of this technique, aiming to sample uniformly distributed group elements in class groups. The open-source library developed can be found here: https://t.co/banOQP89Qy.

5. On the implementation front, the C++ class group library BICYCL(https://t.co/r3LC7vyKe6) supports both the CL-HSMqk and CL-HSM2k schemes, providing most of the low level cryptographic operations. These are detailed in the papers : https://t.co/a5ccLqeDhS and https://t.co/skRPFe6c3n.

6. Finally, groundbreaking protocols such as the first non-interactive Verifiable Secret Sharing (NI-VSS) and Distributed Key Generation (DKG) protocols using class group encryption, introduced by @aniketpkate et al, are poised for deployment in real-world blockchain applications. Their research can be explored here: https://t.co/kRuLQE5zbM.

I personally believe that these developments underscore the potential of class groups to revolutionise the decentralised computing realm by providing a secure, trust-less foundation for a wide array of cryptographic systems and protocols.

Watch this space as I’ll share more on this soon!

Our mission @CypherockWallet has always been to solve the loss problem in Crypto Self Custody. Billions in Crypto have been lost due to lost seed phrase and owner death.

This changes. Today.

In this week of Bitcoin halving, we’re proud to introduce Cypherock Cover, a secure multi-chain, non-custodial & non-KYC inheritance-style recovery service for everyone.

🤯 No single point of failure
Neither Cypherock can compromise your Crypto assets alone nor can the nominee.

⛓️ Multi-Chain
The future is multi-chain. Cypherock Cover is designed in a way to securely transfer access to a nominee without compromising privacy and control of the assets. Hence every Crypto asset that is secured by the seed phrase will automatically be transferred.
NFTs? Defi positions? Staked assets? Literally everything!

🌎 No KYC Required & Globally Available
Neither you nor the nominee’s KYC is required to set up Cypherock Cover

🔒Seed phrase is never touched
Unlike You-Know-Who, the seed phrase NEVER leaves Cypherock X1.

🔑 Non-custodial & Jurisdiction Agnostic
Cypherock Cover acts as an infrastructure layer below the legal layer. Since Cypherock never custodies the Crypto assets, you are free to choose a nominee either from the legal system like a lawyer, or from your close acquaintance.

🫂 Complimentary to Existing Wallet Setup
You are not required to transfer the assets from another wallet. Just import the wallet seed phrases and set them up right away. You can set up recovery of up to 4 different wallets through a single Cypherock X1.

📴 Offline & Non-Upgradable Hardware Enforced
A critical component for Cypherock Cover to work is the X1 Card. X1 Cards are offline, non-upgradable, and have physical locations that only the users know about. Building something similar is that purely software is undesirable those will be cloud-based and upgradable adding counterparty risks.

Cypherock Cover is going live in May ’24. For the 1st 1000 users, we are giving away 1 additional year of service free!

Sounds interesting? Check out the link below to learn how it works.
