2026 ShadowClone: Scalable Decentralized Identity with Cross-Domain Anonymity and Accountable Traceability
abstract
Decentralized identity (DID) is a key infrastructure for Web3, granting users sovereign control over their private identity data. While existing DID systems like FADID-TT (WWW'25) realize anonymity and traceability within a single domain, the Web3 ecosystem is a multiverse of independent domains like DeFi, GameFi, and DAO. This multi-domain reality presents critical issues for current DID solutions. First, most existing solutions are built on the monolithic committee architecture, facing severe scalability bottlenecks as the committee size grows. Second, most existing solutions cannot offer strong cross-domain anonymity, where frequent cross-domain interaction inevitably exposes the user's privacy. Third, existing methods for tracing the identities of malicious users are inefficient.

2026 Xemis: Fair and Robust Privacy-Preserving Data Trading based on Distributed Noise Sharing
abstract
Privacy-preserving data trading allows data owners to sell data to consumers through a data trading web platform, the data market, without disclosing sensitive information in raw data. It enables legitimate data transmission and aggregation, facilitating large-scale data-driven model training. However, existing differential privacy-based approaches struggle to inject precisely calibrated noise in a trustworthy manner without revealing raw data to a third party, thus making them fail in achieving strong fairness and controllable privacy simultaneously, especially when facing malicious external adversaries or a corrupted data market.

2025 FLock: Robust and Privacy-Preserving Federated Learning based on Practical Blockchain State Channels
abstract
Federated Learning (FL) is a distributed machine learning paradigm that allows multiple clients to train models collaboratively without sharing local data. Numerous works have explored security and privacy protection in FL, as well as its integration with blockchain technology. However, existing FL works still face critical issues. i) It is difficult to achieving poisoning robustness and data privacy while ensuring high model accuracy. Malicious clients can launch poisoning attacks that degrade the global model. Besides, aggregators can infer private data from the gradients, causing privacy leakages. Existing privacy-preserving poisoning defense FL solutions suffer from decreased model accuracy and high computational overhead. ii) Blockchain-assisted FL records iterative gradient updates on-chain to prevent model tampering, yet existing schemes are not compatible with practical blockchains and incur high costs for maintaining the gradients on-chain. Besides, incentives are overlooked, where unfair reward distribution hinders the sustainable development of the FL community. In this work, we propose FLock, a robust and privacy-preserving FL scheme based on practical blockchain state channels. First, we propose a lightweight secure Multi-party Computation (MPC)-friendly robust aggregation method through quantization, median, and Hamming distance, which could resist poisoning attacks against up to <50% malicious clients. Besides, we propose communication-efficient Shamir's secret sharing-based MPC protocols to protect data privacy with high model accuracy. Second, we utilize blockchain off-chain state channels to achieve immutable model records and incentive distribution. FLock achieves cost-effective compatibility with practical cryptocurrency platforms, e.g. Ethereum, along with fair incentives, by merging the secure aggregation into a multi-party state channel. In addition, a pipelined Byzantine Fault-Tolerant (BFT) consensus is integrated where each aggregator can reconstruct the final aggregated results. Lastly, we implement FLock and the evaluation results demonstrate that FLock enhances robustness and privacy, while maintaining efficiency and high model accuracy. Even with 25 aggregators and 100 clients, FLock can complete one secure aggregation for ResNet in 2 minutes over a WAN. FLock successfully implements secure aggregation with such a large number of aggregators, thereby enhancing the fault tolerance of the aggregation.
