Keynote Speech: Aligning with Nakamoto's Vision: Privacy and Censorship Resistance for Hybrid Smart Contracts
Ivan Visconti, Sapienza University of Rome
Abstract
Hybrid smart contracts extend the utility of blockchain networks by leveraging decentralized oracles to securely verify and integrate external data. However, triggering these contracts based on real-world events often introduces critical vulnerabilities regarding user privacy and susceptibility to centralized data censorship. This keynote addresses these challenges by exploring the architectural design of a privacy-preserving censorship-resistant system for hybrid smart contracts. We examine how blockchains, self-sovereign identity (SSI) and advanced cryptographic credentials can serve as decentralized tools to verify external facts aligning with Nakamoto's view.
Bio
Ivan Visconti is a full professor of Computer Science at the Department of Computer, Control and Management Engineering of Sapienza University of Rome. His research interests focus on cryptography and, more specifically, on data protection through zero-knowledge proofs, post-quantum cryptography, decentralized systems, blockchain technology, homomorphic encryption, and privacy-enhancing technologies. For over 20 years, he has contributed to the design of advanced cryptographic systems, publishing his results in the proceedings of prestigious conferences organized by the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR) and serving on their program committees.
