In a component-based development approach system integration generally implies the packaging and deployment of a group of software components on hardware units, possibly hiding th...
— Many network applications are based on a group communications model where one party sends messages to a large number of authorized recipients and/or receives messages from mult...
Abstract. We describe a group membership protocol, called the timewheel group membership protocol, for a timed asynchronous distributed system. This protocol is a part of the timew...
Non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs play an essential role in many cryptographic protocols. We suggest several NIZK proof systems based on prime order groups with a bilinear map...
The virtual synchrony model for group communication has proven to be a powerful paradigm for building distributed applications. Implementations of virtual synchrony usually requir...
