Cryptography and Novel Technical Elements
Silk runs on a number of cryptographic and distributed primitives such as:
Mishti Network, a scalable decentralized extractor (for extracting entropy)
Users and wallets may use this once public testnet launches Q2 2024, or by contacting us to use the currently permissioned mainnet
Robust anti-collusion mechanisms make the network secure for sensitive data
2PC-MPC with dWallet network to decentralize the silk "server" for full censorship resistance (coming soon)
ZKPs of identity and low-entropy biometrics for wallet recovery
Consumer-device-friendly zero-knowledge arguments based on VOLE-in-the-head
More detail will be published in our whitepaper or litepaper
