Original title: "DeSec? Where Crypto Meets Security, Surveillance, and Defense"

Written by: Luffistotle, Zee Prime Capital

Recently, security order problems in the West have begun to emerge. Often the way we measure order is by walking around the city and in parks during the day and at night (to see if it's safe). But now this method of measurement is becoming increasingly unreliable. Social order is constructed and maintained through three components:

  1. Laws and social norms

  2. Law enforcement (police, surveillance, etc.)

  3. Justice (application of law)

DeSec: Potential applications of decentralized protocols in surveillance and law enforcement

The interplay between these three is complex and deeply integrated. When people start to fear walking in the park, or when shops start to relocate and no longer operate in the original city (usually a very obvious sign), it indicates that there is a problem with governance. In fact, some current policies do have some problems. In fact, we can try to understand the possibility of crypto improving law enforcement, which will help improve the social structure. We will discuss this below, focusing on the use of crypto in monitoring tools.

Looking back at history, during periods of declining trust in public institutions and protocols (laws), societies often resorted to lynching to solve their problems. This power was intended to solve real problems in the community, but eventually became corrupted and turned into extortion.

Perhaps there are now more modern solutions, such as cheaper surveillance technology, through which it may be possible to provide law enforcement agencies with the "leverage" to solve the problem at scale to ensure that Community goals and aspirations. Technology allows the same number of people to do more. And decentralized protocols can help ensure that this new power is not used for other purposes.

The idea of ​​strengthening law enforcement through surveillance is actually scary because there is a threat of abuse of power.

"Absolute power leads to absolute corruption."

Cryptocurrency brings the possibility of financial freedom - it eliminates the country's monopoly on currency and imposes checks and balances on the country's financial behavior. Likewise, it can provide checks and balances on new monitoring tools. By combining ubiquitous, cheap robots, cameras, and sensors with reliable, neutral collaboration networks, state surveillance monopolies can be counterbalanced.

In a category of projects we call DeSec, we dig deep through interesting conversations with great people. The security area is another opportunity for crypto, as it is one of the few areas where customers (governments, communities) are willing to pay in the form of insurance (defence is happy to pay for redundancy). Redundancy fees are an inherent feature of crypto. This characteristic is also why many crypto products often fail to compete with other solutions, crypto requires constantly paying for higher levels of security/redundancy/verification.

Having said that, redundancy is not a bad thing. It is a trade-off between deterministic fixed costs and variable future costs. In the case of Bitcoin, its value and success is derived from the fees paid to enable trustless verification (breaking consensus requires a high fee, so it is extremely secure). In defense manufacturing, there is also very little tolerance for safety or failure, even if it comes at a high cost.

DePIN 遇見 DeSec:NeighborhoodWatchDAO

DePIN 的大部分價值來自於將資本支出的負擔從公司/協議轉移到節點運行者身上,以換取一定比例的收入。這為許多類型的網路提供了以其他方式無法實現的擴展的可能性。

利用這些特性,可以向市場推出一些即時應用。舉個例子,Dempsey是DePIN 風格的 SoundThinking(以前稱為 ShotSpotter)節點網絡,它可以向 ShotSpotter 本身銷售,也可以擁有自己的協議。對於不熟悉的人來說,ShotSpotter 是一個安裝在建築物上的麥克風網絡,可以對槍擊發生的位置進行三角測量,並向執法機構或急救人員發出警報,以便更快/立即部署資源。

隨著節點運行者部署到各自的城市,此類協議可以擴展至全球,其速度比 SoundThinking 等公司的內部再投資週期要快得多。

同樣,小型無人機入侵潛在重要空域的風險也越來越大。正如最近蘭利空軍基地的入侵事件向我們展示的那樣。雖然美國軍方可能對此類攻擊有機密解決方案,但對於其他較不安全的空域,可能需要另一種解決方案。可以透過對相關空域的小型雷達或視覺觀察網路進行激勵,以幫助執法部門了解發射點的相關情況。

也可以利用類似的模型來觀察訊號強度。 (雖然通常這是由無線提供者提供的,主要用來確保網路質量,但無線提供者也有缺點,其訊號通常更短暫。)DePIN 可以為這些網路提供持續的訊號品質監控(正如ROAM 等一些項目已經計劃要做的那樣)。這是一種更簡單的執行解決方案。

近年來,小偷手中廉價的手機訊號幹擾設備數量激增。這些設備非常可怕,因為您可能會發現當有人闖入您的房屋時,您的手機、wifi 或無線電無法聯繫警察。

罪犯可以將其放在腰帶中,然後搶劫您的房屋或偷竊您的汽車。在城市和其他地區進行訊號監控其實是可以輕鬆偵測到這類幹擾事件的。與 ShotSpotter 類似,也可以向當局發出警報。

我們還可以創建類似的協議,對在問題區域進行監視(Patrol2earn)的小型無人機定期進行激勵,或者我們可以利用現有的 DePIN 項目來為監視機構支持。如 Frodobots 或 DIMO 等項目會用相機捕捉關鍵事件。

通訊

與監控部分類似,DePIN 網路也可用於增強網路傳輸(無論是電氣網路或數位網路)的穩健性。好處在於,即使發生災難,這類網路仍可保持穩定。

網狀邊緣網路可以抵禦當今高度中心化的以CDN 為中心的互聯網流量,而去中心化的發電廠可以對小規模的能源生產進行協調,讓這些能源設備在主要生產中心成為攻擊目標時,能夠依舊提供備用電源。

這一邏輯也適用於現代戰爭。實際上,現代前沿部隊更需要去中心化。正如我們在烏克蘭看到的那樣,FPV 無人機的使用是戰爭領域的重大發展。現在已經實現了小型、低成本(甚至是紙板無人機)和快速精確打擊。戰場上的任何關鍵設施(即後勤樞紐、傳輸/指揮掩體等)都會成為攻擊目標。這會導致這些小型設施稱為故障點,而應對的最佳方法是使用分散式通訊。

在這種經濟情勢下,你還想使用飛彈嗎?

驗證

多方驗證可以應用到機器人製造。向製造機器人輸入惡意指令可能會對整個製造鏈造成嚴重風險。解決這類問題的一種方法可以是,在程式碼運行時對其進行多方驗證。透過對要執行的程式碼達成共識,來捕獲對製造過程的惡意變更。

與驗證類似,STAEX 提供了一個公共網絡,以促進物聯網設備之間無需信任的通訊。這為這些設備提供了一種新穎的通訊方式,並降低了使用傳統管道幹擾的風險。鑑於不法行為的風險日益增加,這是一項重要的技術,它可以建立強大的網絡,來讓這些設備可以傳輸有價值的數據。

驗證的其他用途還包括 Palmer Luckey 上文所述的公民提交證據 (snitch2earn)。在當前法律框架內,隱蔽身份和誘餌車等高度複雜的操作的也許難以執行,但儘管如此,在當今時代,仍有大量記錄犯罪行為的方式,可以設置一個簡單的場所來部署數據,甚至可以透過加密的方式將位置/時間驗證情境化(ZK!!!)。

DeSci

DeSci 是加密技術與國防/情報產業融合的另一種方式。例如,DeSci DAO 資助了材料科學、生物製造(如valleyDAO)、低溫學(CryoDAO)或長壽(Vita)/人類性能增強(有人想和我一起做肽DAO 嗎?)等原本不受重視的領域的研究。這些 DAO 實際上可以對這些研究領域產生有意義的影響。例如,HairDAO 現在是世界上最大的非脫髮研究資助者之一。

我相信,隨著越來越多的科學家正在放棄傳統研究途徑,更多前沿研究的創新將來自這一類 DAO。

協定為何重要

為什麼需要協定?上面提出的許多想法顯然是在增強國家統治的監視。但是,假設這些監視工具被推向市場並由協議管理。在這種情況下,去中心治理可以檢視使用它們的當局是否在正當執法、那些壟斷的治理者的價值觀是否與他們所治理下的人們相一致?如果不一致,協議可以投票決定不再向執法機構提供增值資訊(或許他們會選擇支援私人警察部隊或私人情報機構)。

懷疑論者的評論

DeSec: Potential applications of decentralized protocols in surveillance and law enforcement

無論誰控制,增加監控能力都可能對社會產生負面影響。不要過度質疑去中心化治理的實際可能性,因為與比特幣類似,這種協議必須依賴絕對的無需許可原則,即治理最小化。即最大限度地提高無需信任。

社會不斷發展,實施絕對法治的能力可能會削弱我們的適應能力。不服從是可以促進進步的,儘管這是一種非常特殊的不服從形式(而非街頭犯罪)。如何才能消除特定類型的犯罪?如果最大限度地利用監控技術,這可能就會變成一個滑坡。

因此,在實施有助於維持既定秩序的技術時,我們必須小心保護隱私。我們人類必須有能力說出離譜的想法並反抗暴政。如果執法和反抗能力之間的不對稱變得太大,我們只是在助長少數派報告式的暴政。

如果我們更深入地研究這種不對稱,可以發現,美國的持槍權已經毫無意義了,在建立持槍權時,它的目標是確保潛在反抗的可能性,但一旦我們發明了導彈(更不用說核武),這種可能性就不存在了。當然,個人捍衛其財產的權利仍然存在,但在政府抵抗方面是無效的。

加密技術具有獨特的能力,可以將市場帶入一個新的境地。未來會是 MerceneryDAO、加密資助的國防技術、社區擁有的無人機,還是自由主義的和平主義?誰也不知道。也許答案存在於更小眾的部分,例如去中心化的微型核電站監測器和無人機保護網絡,也許答案存在於一些甚至我們沒有考慮過的地方。
