The Future of Shielded Addresses and Shielded Transactions

7 Min Read 74.4k Views

What is a Shielded Address?

In the world of cryptocurrency privacy and security are two important aspects that users and practitioners look for. One way to increase privacy in cryptocurrency is through the use of a protected address which we know as a shielded address.

Shielded addresses are a type of address in a cryptographic system that provides increased privacy in cryptocurrency transactions. Unlike traditional addresses, which are transparent and easy to trace, shielded addresses are actually able to offer a higher level of anonymity. When a transaction is made using a shielded address, the details of the transaction, including the sender’s address and the recipient’s address, are encrypted, making it difficult for anyone to track or analyze the transaction.

For example, in the case of the popular privacy-focused cryptocurrency Zcash, we know the shielded address of this crypto as a z-address. When a user sends Zcash from his z-address to another z-address, the details of the transaction are protected and remain private. This condition ensures that the sender, recipient and transaction amount are kept confidential.

Shielded addresses give individual cryptocurrency users the freedom to transact safely without fear of their financial transaction activities being monitored or exposed. This level of privacy is especially important for those who value their financial autonomy and wish to keep their financial transactions confidential.

What is Shielded Transaction?

Shielded transactions go hand in hand with shielded addresses, because shielded transactions are the means by which cryptocurrency is transferred safely between these addresses. Shielded transactions ensure that the details of a transaction are encrypted and remain private, thereby providing an extra layer of security for cryptocurrency users in transactions.

In the context of shielded transactions, the term “shielded” refers to the process of encrypting transaction details. This process involves the use of advanced cryptographic techniques to obscure the sender’s address and the recipient’s address, as well as the transaction amount in a transaction. This encryption is achieved through the use of zero-knowledge proofs, which allow one party to prove its knowledge of a particular fact without disclosing any other information to the other party.

Shielded transactions not only increase privacy but also increase security in the use of cryptocurrency. By encrypting transaction details, Shielded transactions will make it difficult for hackers or other criminals to intercept or manipulate a cryptocurrency transaction. This ensures that the funds transferred remain safe during the transaction process.

This shielded transaction is not only applied to one cryptocurrency, although Zcash is the originator of this concept, other cryptocurrencies such as Monero and Dash also include a shielded transaction feature. Each cryptocurrency may have its own unique approach in implementing the shielded transaction concept, but the basic principle remains the same, namely to provide better privacy and security to cryptocurrency users in transactions.

How Shielded Addresses and Shielded Transactions Work in Various Cryptocurrencies.

Although shielded addresses and shielded transactions have similar concepts across various cryptocurrencies, their implementation varies greatly. Some examples of how shielded addresses and shielded transactions work include:

Zcash

In the Zcash cryptocurrency, we know the shielded address as the z-address. When a user creates a z-address, a cryptographic key pair is created, namely a private key and a public key. The private key is useful for signing transactions, while the public key is used as a key that is shared with other people to receive funds.

When a transaction is made from a z-address to another z-address, zero-knowledge proofs are created by the system which are useful for verifying the validity of the transaction without disclosing any sensitive information. These zero-knowledge proofs allow the zCash network to confirm that a transaction is valid, without revealing the sender’s address, recipient’s address, and transaction amount.

Monero

The shielded address and shielded transaction approach taken by the Monero cryptocurrency is slightly different. In the Monero cryptocurrency, all addresses are protected by default. This means that every transaction made on Monero is private and cannot be tracked by anyone. Transaction details, including the sender’s address, recipient’s address, and transaction amount, are encrypted using a technology called ring signatures.

Ring signatures involve mixing a sender’s transaction with a group of other transactions, making it nearly impossible for anyone to determine the true sender. This condition ensures that Monero users’ privacy is protected and their financial activities remain confidential.

Dash

Dash, is a cryptocurrency that focuses on privacy, this cryptocurrency combines shielded addresses and shielded transactions through a feature called PrivateSend. PrivateSend is what allows users to mix their funds with other users’ funds, effectively obfuscating transaction history and making it difficult to trace funds.

When users initiate a PrivateSend transaction, their funds are mixed with funds from other users who initiate transactions using the PrivateSend feature. This transaction mixing process ensures that transaction details are obfuscated and untraceable, providing an additional layer of privacy.

The Future of Shielded Addresses and Shielded Transactions

Privacy concerns will continue to increase, so the demand for shielded addresses and shielded transactions will likely grow in popularity. Privacy-oriented cryptocurrencies, such as Zcash, Monero, and Dash, are increasingly popular among users who pay particular attention to transaction security issues, and want to maintain the privacy of their transactions.

In the future, we may see more other cryptocurrencies adopting the shielded address and shielded transaction features. As the technology behind shielded addresses and shielded transactions advances, it is likely that the level of privacy and security offered by cryptocurrencies will become stronger than it is today.
