Abstract |
Mobile devices play an increasingly important role in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, yet their privacy guarantees remain unstudied. To verify transactions, they either trust a server or use simple payment verification. First, we review the security and privacy of popular Android wallets for Bitcoin and the three major privacy-focused cryptocurrencies (Dash, Monero, Zcash). Then, we investigate the network-level properties of cryptocurrencies and propose a method of transaction clustering based on timing analysis. We implement and test our method on selected wallets and show that a moderately resourceful attacker can correlate transactions issued from one device with relatively high accuracy.
