Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technologies promise to provide efficient distribution, sharing and management of resources, such as storage, processing, routing and other sundry service capabi...
In this paper, we first propose a novel Public License Infrastructure (PLI) that uses cryptographic threshold secret sharing schemes to provide decentralized public license service...
