The Challenges of Viewing Keys, Programmable Privacy, and Disassociation in Blockchain Privacy

Updated: Jun 26



Privacy and compliance are paramount concerns for users and institutions alike. Yet, traditional privacy mechanisms like viewing keys, programmable privacy, and deassociation present significant challenges that may not fully meet these needs.


The Paradox of Viewing Keys and Programmable Privacy

Viewing keys allow users to selectively reveal transaction details, aiming to blend transparency with privacy. However, this approach can place a heavy compliance burden on users, where losing a key could leave them permanently marked as guilty without a way to prove innocence. This scenario ironically offers anonymity to wrongdoers while exposing honest users.

Programmable privacy gives developers control over transaction visibility, suggesting a customizable privacy solution. However, it shifts the compliance responsibility onto users and developers, trapping them in a complex regulatory web. Both methods lack in providing essential financial forensics and a reliable accountability mechanism, paradoxically shielding the guilty and exposing the innocent.


The Deassociation Dilemma

Deassociation seeks to establish a user's innocence by proving their funds are not linked to known bad actors. While innovative, it's heavily reliant on game theory mechanisms and ideal behavior from all involved—a rare guarantee. This method falls short in offering a comprehensive mechanism for accountability or supporting financial forensics for AML and CFT, essential for regulatory compliance.


Financial Forensics and Principle of Accountability

Financial forensics enables the meticulous analysis of blockchain transactions to uncover illicit activities, a process that has proven vital in past cases where forensic analysis led to the discovery and prosecution of financial crimes. Equally important is the principle of accountability, which ensures that it's not just about identifying bad actors, but also about pinpointing their specific illegal actions. This precision in identifying and proving wrongdoing is essential for effectively combating financial crimes and ensuring justice. By integrating advanced forensic capabilities and accountability proofs into our platform, SurferMonkey not only enhances user privacy but also fortifies the blockchain against misuse, making it a safer space for all participants.
