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
문제
You need flexible access control where multiple conditions can authorize spending, without revealing which condition was satisfied.
솔루션
Sigma Protocol OR compositions allow proving disjunctions (A OR B OR C) without revealing which branch is satisfied. This enables privacy-preserving access control.
작동 방식
- 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
코드 예제
{
// 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.

보안 고려사항
- !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

수수료 고려사항
OR proofs are slightly larger than single proofs. Expect ~1.5x standard fees.
