expand attack discussion
It seems that many people bring up reactive attacks when they first see the specification. I think expanding it would help to convey the strong resistance that Cash Accounts have. I tried to take the explanation step by step with more explicit calculations. I also mentioned some math that remains to be done.
For what it is worth, I think the basic calculation will be d = log(1+r+a)
where:
-
d
= average expected collision digits -
r
= original registrations -
a
= attack registrations
However, that's not exactly it because it changes depending on the balance between r
and a
.
It would be easy for a statistics person to come up with the expected distribution D
of collision digits given r
and a
.
Todo:
- replace abbreviations with full names
- include cost of defense vs. cost of attack
- clarify system-wide attack
