Thursday, June 29, 2023

The implemented code released with the paper demonstrates how thousands of parties can perform thousands of operations within seconds.

Key Points: 
  • The implemented code released with the paper demonstrates how thousands of parties can perform thousands of operations within seconds.
  • MPC and threshold cryptography is used by many financial institutions and users in Web3 to secure assets and remove the single point of failure that private keys create.
  • MPC protocols used in Web3, mostly generate ECDSA signatures (which is the most widely used signature algorithm in blockchains today) with a threshold of parties instead of one private key.
  • The promise that MPC holds for Web3 has not been fully unlocked yet due to this limit on decentralization.

Friday, March 17, 2023

NEW YORK, March 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the Fireblocks cryptography research team released the details of a vulnerability in BitGo Threshold Signature Scheme (TSS) wallets that would have exposed the private keys of every BitGo user, including exchanges, banks, and other notable brands. The vulnerability — dubbed the BitGo Zero Proof Vulnerability — allows an attacker to extract the full private key in less than 60 seconds using only a small JavaScript snippet.

Key Points: 
  • The vulnerability — dubbed the BitGo Zero Proof Vulnerability — allows an attacker to extract the full private key in less than 60 seconds using only a small JavaScript snippet.
  • The Fireblocks cryptography team notified BitGo of the vulnerability on December 5, and after confirming the technical details, BitGo suspended its vulnerable service on December 10.
  • The vulnerability is a result of the wallet provider failing to follow a well-reviewed cryptographic standard," said Idan Ofrat, Co-founder and CTO at Fireblocks.
  • The vulnerability, which the Fireblocks team proved was exploitable via a free BitGo account on Mainnet, is a result of a missing implementation of mandatory zero-knowledge proofs in the BitGo ECDSA TSS wallet protocol, making it easy to expose the private key through a simple attack.
