ShutterTEE: Layered Security via Meshing Threshold Cryptography and State-Of-The-Art TEE

A Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) is a secure area within a processor that safeguards sensitive data and operations even if the main system is compromised. In blockchain applications, TEEs are increasingly used for privacy-preserving computations, decentralized oracles, secure random number generation, and mitigating Maximal Extractable Value (MEV).

Building on this foundational concept, PolyCrypt GmbH has proposed integrating Intel SGX capabilities into the Shutter protocol through a novel approach called ShutterTEE. This innovation aims to strengthen Shutter's cryptographic backbone by leveraging SGX's secure enclaves to ensure that Keypers—the nodes managing cryptographic keys—operate transparently and securely. The current threshold encryption scheme in the Shutter protocol establishes a strong foundation by requiring trust in only a subset of Keypers to act honestly. To further enhance this security and reduce trust assumptions, a "layered security" approach can be implemented by running Keypers within TEEs.

Shutter DAO 0x36 Proposals and Discussions

The following are proposals and discussions shared on the Shutter Forum, specifically intended for the members of Shutter DAO 0x36. These topics are open for review and debate, encouraging members to engage and provide their insights and feedback.

Initial Payment Request: AI-Agent MEV and Transaction Ordering Simulator (Isotropic Solutions)

We intend to post this proposal to Decent on Monday December 23, 2024. Summary: Subsequent to a previous Snapshot approval by the DAO to initiate this project, we are requesting $10,000 USDC for project initiation. While projects typically raise funds upfront, we opted to ensure smooth early progress before requesting payment. With significant progress already achieved, this installment will cover the costs of starting the project. Additional payments will follow upon delivery of Phase 1 and P…
