Ensuring the consistency and the availability of replicated data in highly mobile ad hoc networks is a challenging task because of the lack of a backbone infrastructure. Previous ...
Byzantine Quorum Systems is a replication technique used to ensure availability and consistency of replicates data even in presence of arbitrary faults. This paper presents a Byzan...
Abstract. This paper describes e cient protocols for multi-party computations that are information-theoretically secure against passive attacks. The results presented here apply to...
methods. If a pair of methods op1 and op2 are compatible, the summation of the quorum numbers of op1 and op2 can be smaller than the number of replicas in the QOL protocol even if ...
For centuries it was thought that bacteria live asocial lives. However, recent discoveries show many species of bacteria communicate in order to perform tasks previously thought t...
