"Trust and reliance in the cognitive institutions of cryptocurrency" by Enrico Petracca and Shaun Gallagher

The stated aim of cryptocurrencies is to free the monetary system from the need to trust financial intermediaries, by relying on incentive design and technology. Many descriptive studies, however, have questioned cryptocurrencies’ delivery on the promise of trustlessness. This paper promotes a normative analysis of trust in cryptocurrencies by discussing (i) whether trust is in principle eliminable, and (ii) whether trustlessness is in itself a desirable goal. These issues are closely related, we argue, to the further issue of what kind of institutions cryptocurrencies represent. We discuss the cognitive functions played by cryptocurrencies through the lens of the “extended mind” hypothesis in the philosophy of mind and hence conceive of cryptocurrencies as mind-extending institutions. As the models of institutional mind extension differ in the fiduciary bond they assume exists between individuals and institutional resources, we compare the reliance-based model of “scaffolding institutions” with the trust-based model of “cognitive institutions,” showing that the ineliminability and desirability of trust lead to seeing cryptocurrencies as instances of the latter. In the end, our discussion suggests that trust is a necessary component of cryptocurrencies’ cognitive functions and its promotion helps to perform such cognitive functions more effectively and sustainably

"Blockchain-assisted post-quantum privacy-preserving public auditing sc" by Deepika Gautam, Sunil Prajapat et al.

With the escalation of multimedia data, cloud technology has played a very important role in its management with its promising computing and storage capabilities. Cloud computing leverages high scalability, resources, and on-demand services, which have a remarkable impact on assisting multimedia data storage. Meanwhile, any alteration in the outsourced multimedia data is a severe menace. Numerous researchers have focused on providing validation of integrity through the auditing mechanism. Regrettably, their mechanisms are focused on the traditional public-key cryptosystem and cannot withstand quantum attacks. Additionally, the centralised approach of completely relying on a third-party auditor (TPA) of existing mechanisms may lead to biased auditing results. Hence, employing the advantage of resistance against quantum attack and removing the liability of certificates with lattice cryptography and an identity-based cryptosystem, we have presented a new auditing framework by utilising blockchain technology. Blockchain technology is employed in order to track the activities of the cloud service provider and TPA, resulting less dependency on TPA. Security analysis portrays security of the framework under the random oracle model, which depends is based on the Shortest Integer Solution (SIS) problem of the lattices. Reduced computation, communication and storage overheads with efficient features and performance is observed for the proposed mechanism through analysis conducted with similar mechanisms. As a result, better operability is achieved by the proposed mechanism.

Embracing On-Chain Domains for a Safer Internet

From the humble beginnings of ARPANET to the birth of the internet as we know it today, domain registrars have been the silent architects of our online activity. Now, as we stand on the cusp of the Web3 revolution, domains are set to undergo yet another profound transformation. Internet innovations have given us a remarkable ability to connect, but now we are bouncing against the limits of this paradigm.
