Abstract

Abstract

Blockchain has the advantages of transparency, data integrity, tamper resistance, etc., and has important application value to the fields of finance, government, and military. There are many work to study the privacy protection of the blockchain, typically including Monero, Zerocash, Mixcoin, and more. Their privacy protection methods can be used to protect the identity of the user and the amount of the transaction. The privacy protection scheme is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it is the perfect protection of the privacy of legitimate users. On the other hand, if it is completely out of supervision, it is the appeasement and connivance of illegal crimes such as money laundering and extortion. In response to the various endangered privacy protection schemes on the blockchain, regulation must also keep pace with the times. In view of this, the privacy protection and supervision methods of blockchain user’s identity is studied, and anonymity and traceability technology to promote the application of blockchain to practice is proposed.
