Implemented ring signature technology allows the signing of a message on behalf of a group. This proves the message was created by the group where all the possible signers are indistinguishable.
unlinkable transactions
A variation of the Diffie-Hellman exchange protocol gives the receiver multiple unique one-time addresses derived from his single public key. Funds are only redeemed by the receiver and impossible to cross-link.
egalitarian POW
CryptoNote technology brings the voting equality through egalitarian proof of work that utilizes the built-in CPU instructions and which makes it perfectly suited for coin mining using an every day ordinary home computer.
adaptive parameters
CryptoNote has no hard-coded constants; magic numbers in the code are designed to be re-calculated based on the previous state of the network, thus adaptive and dynamic.
double-spending proof
Every signature contains a fingerprint key image of the secret key. This implies that given only the key image it is impossible to restore the corresponding secret key.
blockchain analysis resistance
Non-repeating one-time addresses and mixed keys in ring signatures make the whole blockchain resistant to analysis. Obstacles for analysts grow with transactions.
