About the authors<br />
Arvind Narayanan(Ph.D. 2009) is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Princeton. Narayanan<br />
leads the Princeton Web Transparency <strong>and</strong> Accountability project that aims to uncover how<br />
companies are collecting <strong>and</strong> using our personal information. He also leads a research group studying<br />
the security, anonymity, <strong>and</strong> stability of <strong>Bitcoin</strong> <strong>and</strong> cryptocurrencies. His doctoral research showed<br />
that data anonymization is broken in fundamental ways, for which he jointly received the 2008 Privacy<br />
Enhancing <strong>Technologies</strong> Award. You can follow him on Twitter at @r<strong>and</strong>om_walker.<br />
Joseph Bonneauis a Technology Fellow at the Electronic Frontier Foundation <strong>and</strong> Postdoctoral<br />

2011, <strong>and</strong> has authored scholarly papers on a wide range of original research, including new<br />
proof‐of‐work puzzle constructions, programming languages for block chain data structures, <strong>and</strong><br />
peer‐to‐peer network measurement <strong>and</strong> simulation techniques. He is an Associate Director of the<br />
Initiative for Cryptocurrencies <strong>and</strong> Contracts (IC3) at Cornell <strong>and</strong> an advisor to the zcash project.<br />
Steven Goldfederis a PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at Princeton University,<br />
advised by Arvind Narayanan. He is a member of the Security & Privacy Research Group, a CITP<br />
Graduate Student Fellow, <strong>and</strong> a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow. His research<br />
interests include cryptography, security, <strong>and</strong> privacy, especially decentralized digital currencies. His<br />
