DiStefano Protocol Enhances Privacy in TLS 1.3 Data Sharing

/ 1 min read

🔐✨ DiStefano: A New Protocol for Privacy-Preserving Data Sharing Over TLS 1.3. Researchers have introduced DiStefano, a Designated-Commitment TLS (DCTLS) protocol that enhances privacy and security in data sharing over the widely used TLS 1.3 protocol. DiStefano allows users to generate zero-knowledge proofs, enabling them to prove specific statements about their data—such as age verification—without revealing sensitive information. The protocol addresses significant challenges faced by existing DCTLS protocols, including support for TLS 1.3, security limitations, and deployability issues. By leveraging two-party computation and modifying AES-GCM for commitment, DiStefano aims to facilitate secure, privacy-preserving interactions online, with potential applications in fraud detection and data provenance verification. A prototype is available for integration into Chromium-based browsers, including Brave.
