Roru is designed from the ground up to prevent any exposure of your transaction data. This guide explains the multiple layers of protection that keep your information private.

Multiple Protection Layers

Cryptographic Hiding

Commitments:

• Amounts hidden in commitments

• Cannot extract amounts

• Cryptographically secure

• Complete hiding

Encryption:

• Notes encrypted

• Keys protected

• Cannot decrypt without key

• Privacy maintained

Zero-Knowledge Proofs

What They Hide:

• Transaction amounts

• Transaction parties

• Transaction details

• All private information

What They Prove:

• Transaction is valid

• Without revealing information

• Complete privacy

• Security maintained

Network Privacy

Encrypted Communication

All Communication Encrypted:

• End-to-end encryption

• No plaintext data

• Encrypted channels

• Privacy maintained

Infrastructure Privacy:

• Data processed in enclaves

• Node operators cannot see

• Complete privacy

• Infrastructure privacy

Metadata Protection

Timing Protection

How It's Protected:

• Batching transactions

• Timing obfuscation

• No timing correlation

• Privacy maintained

Why It Matters:

• Timing can reveal information

• Protected by design

• Cannot correlate

• Privacy guaranteed

Network Metadata

IP Address Protection:

• Relayers hide IPs

• No IP correlation

• Privacy maintained

• Complete protection

Network Patterns:

• Patterns obfuscated

• Cannot analyze

• Privacy maintained

• Complete protection

State Privacy

Shielded State

Private State:

• All balances hidden

• Cannot see amounts

• Cannot see owners

• Complete privacy

How It Works:

• Cryptographic commitments

• Only you can view your notes

• Others cannot see

• Privacy maintained

Protocol-Level Protection

Unlinkability

Transaction Unlinkability:

• Transactions cannot be linked

• No correlation possible

• Complete unlinkability

• Privacy guaranteed

Note Unlinkability:

• Notes cannot be linked

• Cannot determine relationships

• Complete privacy

• Guaranteed

Anti-Correlation

Built-in Protection:

• Protocol prevents correlation

• Design prevents analysis

• Complete protection

• Privacy by design
