About
Sindura Saraswathi is a PhD student at the University of Central Florida, researching Bitcoin and the Lightning Network with a focus on scalability and reliability. Her recent work includes a closed-form framework for selecting optimal threshold signatures for Bitcoin custody and an in-depth analysis of pathfinding strategies across Lightning clients.
Speaking Topics
Interested to speak about my research 'Optimal Threshold Signatures in Bitcoin'.
Abstract: In this research we formulate the design of a threshold signature scheme as made possible on Bitcoin. The funds are secured by an m-of-n threshold signaturewhere at least m signatures are needed to unlock the funds. A user designs this scheme knowing that a malicious attacker can also obtain the signatures with some probability. Higher thresholds offer more securitybut also risk locking the user out of his own funds. The optimal threshold balances these twin effects. Interventions like increasing the security or usability of the signatures allow for higher thresholds.
