|---|---|---|
| 1900 BC | Cryptography | The earliest known use of cryptography is found in non-standard hieroglyphs carved into the wall of a tomb from the Old Kingdom of Egypt.[4] |
| 1983 | Prelude | American cryptographer David Chaum at the University of Berkeley, California, starts experimenting with several forms of electronic cash. He devises a token currency that individuals could transfer between themselves privately and safely. Chaum's “blinding formula” would be used to encrypt information that is transferred between individuals. This concept shares notable similarities with modern-day cryptocurrencies.[1] |
| 1985 | Zero-knowledge proofs are first conceived by Shafi Goldwasser, Silvio Micali, and Charles Rackoff in their paper "The Knowledge Complexity of Interactive Proof-Systems".[5] This paper introduces the IP hierarchy of interactive proof systems (see interactive proof system) and conceivea the concept of knowledge complexity, a measurement of the amount of knowledge about the proof transferred from the prover to the verifier. They also givethe first zero-knowledge proof for a concrete problem, that of deciding quadratic nonresidues mod m. | |
| 1990 | Prelude | Milton Friedman writes: “One thing we are still lacking and will soon develop is reliable e-cash—a method by which money can be transferred from A to B on the Internet without A knowing B and vice versa.”[1] |
| 1993 | László Babai and Shlomo Moran publish a landmark paper on interactive proof systems. | |
| 1996 | Prelude | Douglas Jackson and Barry Downey create an online platform to sell digital portions of gold coins, named e-gold. Over the next four years, e-gold would become a digital payment system with about a million users. It is the first non-credit card payment service that enables e-commerce and can be integrated into online shops. Lack of secutrity would prompt e-gold to be hacked along with its users, with no adequate protection by the insecure Windows Internet Explorer. Many e-gold customers would lose their deposits. Finally, Jackson and Downey would be brought to justice for failing to operate with a license.[1] |
| 1997 | Hashcash is introduced by Adam Back, who incorporates a Proof of Work protocol that helps verify a transaction’s validity. Hashcash would fail to remain relevant due to scalability issues. Regarded as one of the most successful pre-bitcoin digital currencies, this project would be cited in Bitcoin’s white paper.[1] | |
| 1998 | Developer Wei Dai introduces the concept of an “anonymous, distributed electronic cash system” known as B-money. He proposes two separate protocols, one of which requires a broadcast channel that is “unjammable and synchronous.” This digital currency would never be successful.[1] | |
| 1998 | Prelude | Flooz.com issues a virtual currency as part of their marketing campaign. The value of each Flooz is tied to one dollar and those who purchase on the Flooz.com website are rewarded with Flooz coins. However, despite a multi-million-dollar advertising campaign, the currency would fail to achieve the level of adoption necessary to sustain the project, which would be finally destroyed by Filipino and Russian hackers, who made lots of purchases with stolen credit cards.[1] |
| 2001 | Ring signatures are invented by Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Yael Tauman Kalai, and introduced at ASIACRYPT.[6] The name, ring signature, comes from the ring-like structure of the signature algorithm. | |
