Good morning Germ=C3=A1n,
> With regards to trying to tackle the problem of value-based correlations,=
wouldn't it be possible to try to model the solution after the equal-sum-s=
ubset problem (np complete problem)( https://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~lyepre/pdf/a=
ssignment2-solutions/subsetSumNPCompleteness.pdf=C2=A0 )?=C2=A0
> That is, a pair of individuals with a set of UTXOs that both add up to si=
milar if not equal value perform a swap of similar-(total)value sets. In th=
is way the values of the UTXOs can be broken up essentially at random (foll=
owing some nominal distribution so that it doesn't stand out; e.g.=C2=A0htt=
ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benford%27s_law), but swapped=C2=A0in conjunctio=
n and decorrelated by using different keys=C2=A0+ randomized locktimes.
There are a number of issues to simply modeling this to the subset-sum prob=
lem.
* There is a practical limit to the number of UTXOs you would be willing to=
receive in the swap.
* Every UTXO you receive increases the potential fee you have to pay to s=
pend them, meaning you would strongly dislike receiving 100 UTXOs that sum =
up to 1mBTC.
* Thus, a practical blockchain analyst can bound the size of the sets inv=
olved, and the problem becomes less than NP in practice.
* If you have a single UTXO and split it, then swap, anyone looking at the =
history can conjecture that the split involved is part of a CoinSwap.
* The split is now a hint on how the subset sums can be tried.
* If after the CoinSwap you spend the UTXOs you received in a single transa=
ction, then you just published the solution to the subset sum for your adve=
rsary.
* This ties in even further to the "practical limit on the number of UTXO=
s".
* Because it is not safe to spend the UTXOs from a single CoinSwap toge=
ther, you want to have fewer, larger UTXOs for more flexibility in spending=
later.
I believe belcher and waxwing and nopara73 have been working far longer on =
privacy tech, and you should try to get in contact with them as well, they =
may know of other issues (or solutions to the above problems).
Regards,
ZmnSCPxj
