Chair of Network Architectures and Services Department of Informatics Technical University of Munich Implementing Privacy Preserving Auction Protocols (Master Thesis Final Talk) Markus Teich, B. Sc. [email protected] March 23, 2017 Chair of Network Architectures and Services Department of Informatics Technical University of Munich Chair of Network Architectures and Services Department of Informatics Technical University of Munich Motivation In many existing auction systems sellers can: • Abuse loosing bid information • Collude with bidder(s) and change the outcome Our goals are: • Reduce requirement of trust in auction platform operators • Create usably fast system M. Teich — Auctions 2 Chair of Network Architectures and Services Department of Informatics Technical University of Munich Related Work Cryptographic auction protocols provide: • Correctness of the outcome • Non-Repudiation • Various degrees of privacy We choose the work of Felix Brandt because: • No trusted third party required • Beneficial privacy properties • Reviewed M.

Teich — Auctions 4 Chair of Network Architectures and Services Department of Informatics Technical University of Munich libbrandt Overview • git://gnunet.org/libbrandt • Auction Outcome determination (all four formats) • Algorithms by Felix Brandt translated to Ed25519 • Around 4000 lines of C • Depends on libgcrypt v1.7+ and libgnunetutil v13.0+ • GPLv3+ M. Teich — Auctions 5 Chair of Network Architectures and Services Department of Informatics Technical University of Munich Research Questions • How does the architecture look like? • How much do we improve performance by using Ed25519? • How scalable is the system?

M. Teich — Auctions 15 Chair of Network Architectures and Services Department of Informatics Technical University of Munich Performance Conclusion Compared to RSA: • Computation cost reduced to 7% • Bandwidth cost reduced to 8% • Wassenberg Heuristic worth looking into M.

X How much do we improve performance by using Ed25519? • How scalable is the system? M. Teich — Auctions 17 Given a good multicast-implementation the systems scalability only de- pends on the network speed and computing power of the seller and the bidders. Chair of Network Architectures and Services Department of Informatics Technical University of Munich Scalability • Computations in O(n3) • Participating in several auctions on the same host is problematic. • Only Sellers and bidders involved → No need to scale a platform or auctioneer M.

M. Teich — Auctions 18 Depending on the auction format we need between 4kiB/s and 20kiB/s. → computation cost > bandwidth cost. Moore’s Law is faster than Nielsen’s Law.
