Pangea uses the Panthalassa mesh, which is built using Secure Scuttlebutt (SSB) and Interplanetary File System (IPFS) protocols. This enables Pangea to be highly resilient and secure, conferring resistance to emergent threats such as high- performance quantum cryptography. Pangea is blockchain agnostic but uses the Ethereum blockchain for the time being. In the future, other chains such as Bitcoin, EOS and Tezos can be integrated with Pangea. The Pangea Arbitration Token (PAT) is an ERC20 compatible in-app token for the Pangea Jurisdiction. The PAT token rewards good reputation and is issued on Pangea when Citizens accumulate non-tradable reputation tokens through creating a contract, successfully completing a contract or resolving a dispute attached to a contract. PAT is an algorithmic reputation token, an arbitration currency based on performance rather than purchasing power, popularity or attention. The distribution mechanism for PAT tokens on Pangea is an autonomous agent, Lucy, which will initially launch on Ethereum as a smart contract. This mechanism is blockchain agnostic and can be ported to any viable smart contract platform. An oracle created by Bitnation will help to facilitate this (semi-) autonomous distribution mechanism in a decentralized and secure fashion.

Student number: 4893964 Project duration: November 15, 2019 – August 31, 2020 Thesis committee: Dr.ir. J.A. Pouwelse, TU Delft, supervisor Dr. J.S. Rellermeyer, TU Delft Dr. N. Yorke-Smith, TU Delft An electronic version of this thesis is available at http://repository.tudelft.nl/. Preface When I was choosing my thesis topic, I originally came up with an idea of designing a decen- tralized social network. After realizing how ambitious that goal was, I later decided to focus on more fundamental issues first and create a library that would allow for building any de- centralized applications, running purely on an overlay network consisting of smartphones. Rather than reinventing the wheel, I took inspiration from an existing networking library de- veloped at TU Delft over the last decade and created its wire-compatible implementation in Kotlin. Interestingly, in the end, I have even implemented a trivial social network to demon- strate the usage of the library, returning back to the original idea. I would like to thank my supervisor Johan Pouwelse for an endless stream of fresh ideas and valuable feedback, and to PhD students of the Delft Blockchain Lab for numerous coffee meetings and for serving me as a walking documentation of the existing codebase.

  • P2P-Hate-Report.Pdf
    I’m in a community called Scuttlebutt which uses Peer-to-Peer technology. This is a type of ​ ​ technology that works radically differently from the internet as we know it now and offers a powerful vision for a resilient and sustainable future for technology and social movements. One evening, a friend who is a developer on Scuttlebutt and also has marginalized identities like myself messaged me and a small group of others with great concern writing: “Ok - so we have nazis already using scuttlebutt. When the NZ shootings happened I had a dream that in the news it was announced that they had been using an enclave of scuttlebutt to organise and radicalise. It seems inevitable that this will happen…” It continued a long conversation about the risks created by these radical technologies. My friend was genuinely afraid. So was I. And I still am. Like so many others, he had put a ton of work into cultivating both the community and the technology. He was scared both that the product of so many people’s love would become a central aid in white-supremacist organizing and that the community wasn’t ready to deal with the fall out of such a “nightmarish vision.” In most Peer-to-Peer communities it is impossible to surveill them or know how many people are using them because they are secure and often private by design. The only way to even catch a glimpse of how many white supremacists are using them is when they post on leaked forums or public websites. Otherwise, unless their conversations are infiltrated, we can only see the tips of the iceberg of the violence (or good!) facilitated by these technologies.

    TrustNet: Trust-based Moderation Using Distributed Chat Systems for Transitive Trust Propagation Alexander Cobleigh Department of Automatic Control MSc Thesis TFRT-6102 ISSN 0280-5316 Department of Automatic Control Lund University Box 118 SE-221 00 LUND Sweden © 2020 by Alexander Cobleigh. All rights reserved. Printed in Sweden by Tryckeriet i E-huset Lund 2020 Abstract This thesis introduces TrustNet, a flexible and distributed system for deriving, and interacting with, computational trust. The focus of the thesis is applying TrustNet as a tool within distributed chat systems for implementing a subjective moderation sys- tem. Two distributed chat systems, Secure Scuttlebutt and Cabal, are discussed, the latter having been extended with a proof of concept implementation of the proposed system. The concept of ranking strategies is also introduced as a general purpose technique for converting a produced set of rankings into strategy-defined subsets. This work proposes a complete trust system that can be incorporated as a ready- made software component for distributed ledger technologies, and which provides real value for impacted users by way of automating decision-making and actions as a result of assigned trust scores. 3 Acknowledgements I want to start by thanking Johan Eker, my thesis supervisor from the department of Automatic Control at Lund University, for his support, patience, advice and feed- back in this unusually long Master’s thesis. I am very glad you took the time to listen to the random student dropping by your office to pitch his thesis idea.

  • Cryptographic Protocol Analysis for the Real World
    Verifpal: Cryptographic Protocol Analysis for the Real World Nadim Kobeissi1, Georgio Nicolas1, and Mukesh Tiwari2 1 Symbolic Software 2 University of Melbourne Abstract Verifpal is a new automated modeling framework and verifier for cryp- tographic protocols, optimized with heuristics for common-case protocol specifica- tions, that aims to work better for real-world practitioners, students and engineers without sacrificing comprehensive formal verification features. In order to achieve this, Verifpal introduces a new, intuitive language for modeling protocols that is easier to write and understand than the languages employed by existing tools. Its formal verification paradigm is also designed explicitly to provide protocol modeling that avoids user error. Verifpal is able to model protocols under an active attacker with unbounded ses- sions and fresh values, and supports queries for advanced security properties such as forward secrecy or key compromise impersonation. Furthermore, Verifpal’s semantics have been formalized within the Coq theorem prover, and Verifpal mod- els can be automatically translated into Coq as well as into ProVerif models for further verification. Verifpal has already been used to verify security properties for Signal, Scuttlebutt, TLS 1.3 as well as the first formal model for the DP-3T pandemic-tracing protocol, which we present in this work. Through Verifpal, we show that advanced verification with formalized semantics and sound logic can exist without any expense towards the convenience of real-world practitioners. Keywords: formal analysis · protocol analysis · protocol modeling 1 Introduction Internet communications rely on a handful of protocols, such as Transport Layer Security (TLS), SSH and Signal, in order to keep user data confidential.
