Definition ∞ Linkable Audit Tags are unique identifiers attached to transactions that allow specific data to be connected for auditing purposes. These tags enable authorized parties to trace and verify particular transaction flows or account activities within a system, even if the primary transaction data remains private or anonymized to others. They serve as a mechanism for regulatory compliance and financial transparency without exposing all details publicly. The design permits a selective disclosure of information when required by oversight bodies.
Context ∞ The application of Linkable Audit Tags is gaining relevance in privacy-focused blockchain networks seeking to satisfy regulatory demands for accountability. A key debate involves ensuring that these tags do not inadvertently compromise user privacy or become a vector for unauthorized surveillance. Future development aims to refine the precision and control over what information can be linked and by whom.
