• Abstract: This paper discusses the mechanisms of cryptocurrency, the idea of using security in the system, and the popularity of it. To begin, the authors provide a background on cryptocurrency and how it works. The authors understand that while most people may be familiar with the concept, they may not know how it works. Next, the authors discuss the security of cryptocurrency in-depth within the paper. The authors also provide examples of attacks on cryptocurrency systems to show the vulnerabilities within the system. Lastly, the authors discuss the popularity of the system to further express the need for security in cryptocurrency.

• Examining Attacks on Consensus and Incentive Systems in Proof-of-Work Blockchains: A Systematic Literature Review [0.0]
  Bitcoin's security relies on a decentralized ledger consisting of a consensus and an incentive mechanism. As Bitcoin's acceptance grows, it faces increasing threats from attacks targeting these mechanisms. This paper begins by examining individual attacks executed in isolation and their profitability. It then explores how combining these attacks with each other or with other malicious and non-malicious strategies can enhance their overall effectiveness and profitability.

• The Latency Price of Threshold Cryptosystem in Blockchains [52.359230560289745]
  We study the interplay between threshold cryptography and a class of blockchains that use Byzantine-fault tolerant (BFT) consensus protocols. Existing approaches for threshold cryptosystems introduce a latency overhead of at least one message delay for running the threshold cryptographic protocol. We propose a mechanism to eliminate this overhead for blockchain-native threshold cryptosystems with tight thresholds.

  Crypters are pieces of software whose main goal is to transform a target binary so it can avoid detection from Anti Viruses (AVs) applications. The crypter-as-a-service model has gained popularity, in response to the increased sophistication of detection mechanisms. This paper provides the first study on an online underground market dedicated to crypter-as-a-service.

  A proof of work (PoW) is an important cryptographic construct enabling a party to convince others that they invested some effort in solving a computational task. In this work, we examine the hardness of finding such chain of PoWs against quantum strategies. We prove that the chain of PoWs problem reduces to a problem we call multi-solution Bernoulli search, for which we establish its quantum query complexity.
