Using simulations of a complex system such as a Web Application Server provides us with a tool that allows the running of tests without using the resources needed in a real system...

Due to its universality oblivious transfer (OT) is a primitive of great importance in secure multi-party computation. OT is impossible to implement from scratch in an unconditional...
Secure, fault-tolerant distributed systems are difficult to build, to validate, and to operate. Conservative design for such systems dictates that their security and fault toleran...
In this paper, we consider the problem of maximizing the throughput of Byzantine agreement, when communication links have finite capacity. Byzantine agreement is a classical probl...
This paper focuses on designing incentive mechanisms for overlay multicast systems. Existing proposals on the problem are no longer able to provide proper incentives when rational...
