In the wiki section about the mixnet implementations in Zeus, it says: "Therefore we seek to implement or enhance or test different mixnets in order to replace the current mixnet algorithm in Zeus". Could you describe in greater detail the drawbacks of the current mixnet algorithm (I assume it lacks efficiency)? Moreover, what alternative implementations do you have in mind? 2017-03-18 21:37 GMT+02:00 Panos Louridas <louridas [ at ] grnet [ dot ] gr>: > Ηello John, > > There are things in Zeus that have little to go with cryptography per se > (check Example Improvements at https://ellak.gr/wiki/index.ph > p?title=GSOC2017_Ideas#Zeus). > > However, I strongly recommend that you become acquainted with cryptography > because you will get a deeper understanding of the problems that we are > trying to solve. > > A good way to get up to speed fast is to watch Dan Boneh’s lectures at > Stanford; you can find them online at YouTube. > > Best Regards, > > P.
