Accountability for Encrypted Mempools

In briefAccountability for encrypted mempools: tracing committee members who leak decryption shares

SummaryThis post examines how committee-based encrypted mempools can be protected against leaked decryption shares. The authors propose a candidate traceable threshold encryption construction that identifies committee members who help build a leaked partial decoder before transactions are revealed, without falsely accusing honest members. They note it is a first step rather than a deployment-ready solution, with setup and the tracing authority still open problems.
