Time Locks & Access Control
Intermediate
1 hourSigma OR Access Control (Either-Or Spend)
Spend if key A OR key B or external condition is satisfied
課題
You need flexible access control where multiple conditions can authorize spending, without revealing which condition was satisfied.
解決策
Sigma Protocol OR compositions allow proving disjunctions (A OR B OR C) without revealing which branch is satisfied. This enables privacy-preserving access control.
仕組み
- 1Define multiple valid spending conditions (A, B, C...)
- 2Combine with || (OR) operator in ErgoScript
- 3Prover satisfies one condition but proof doesn't reveal which
- 4Verifier confirms one condition is met without learning which
- 5Zero-knowledge property preserved - no information leakage
コード例
{
// Any of three authorities can spend
// Observer cannot tell which one signed
val authority1 = PK("9f...")
val authority2 = PK("9g...")
val authority3 = PK("9h...")
// OR composition - ZK proof reveals nothing about signer
proveDlog(authority1) || proveDlog(authority2) || proveDlog(authority3)
}Three authorities can spend, but the signature doesn't reveal which one. Native Sigma Protocol feature, not a hash-based trick.

セキュリティ考慮事項
- !OR proofs are computationally sound, not information-theoretic
- !Ring size affects privacy level (larger = more privacy)
- !Consider timing attacks in implementation
- !Avoid reusing keys across different rings

手数料の考慮事項
OR proofs are slightly larger than single proofs. Expect ~1.5x standard fees.
