Monero's ring signatures provide plausible deniability, but they aren't perfect. We model examples where two colluding parties 'E' attempt to learn information about an individual 'A.'

Unfortunately, there are privacy and security limitations when users rely on others to provide copies of blockchain data. We discuss some of these limitations, some remote node attacks, and how to mitigate against them.
