The thesis delves into the deployment of advanced tools aimed at thwarting Denial of Service (DoS) attacks in anonymous settings, using zk-SNARK technology. More specifically, the paper examines in detail a protocol dubbed RLN (Rate-Limiting Nullifier) that leverages zk-SNARK technology to impose rate-limiting regulations in anonymous environments.
This thesis was written for my bachelor's degree in computer engineering at the University of Bologna in the year 2022/2023
