| Abstract |
|
Monero is one of the privacy-preserving cryptocurrencies employing CryptoNote protocol. The privacy features in Monero are provided by cryptographic techniques such as linkable ring signature and one-time public key. Recent studies show that the majority of Monero inputs are traceable prior to mandatory RingCT transaction. After the RingCT was implemented, the problems were mitigated. We propose a novel attack to reduce the anonymity of Monero transactions or even to fully deanonymise the inputs. The proposed protocol can be launched in RingCT protocol and enables multiple attackers to collaborate without trusting each other. The attack scheme can be planted in the existing Monero services without extra fees and without putting the users’ money at risk.

This paper was published around the same time as Moser et al. and proposes a new technique to reduce decoys within RingCT transactions.
I like section 2c. not many papers or material surrounding Monero talk about k-anonymity and how it relates to monero. The background section discusses common attacks such as black marble, zero mixin, temporal analysis, and publishing private view keys. The attack methodology was confusing to me, it seems like the idea is to create a malicious wallet that selects the same decoys for every transaction so that they can be deanonymized easily.
