[00:00 - 00:14] In this lesson, we are going to look into the privacy techniques and block chains which exist today to provide privacy in cryptocurrencies. So one of the most famous ones is Zcash and we're going to look into it and how it works and how it provides privacy.
[00:15 - 00:55] We're not going to go into the mathematical details but we're just going to look at it from a fundamental level and understand the high level design of the Zcash itself. And then we're going to look into Monero which is another cryptocurrency which provides privacy and also Dash member-wimbo and we're going to look at how mixers operate and what privacy guarantees they provide and also stealth addresses and one-time addresses which are also used in Monero quite a lot and also a version of them is available on Ethereum and some other blockchains.
[00:56 - 01:01] We're going to look at the general idea and how they work and how you can implement them yourself today.
