To achieve security in wireless sensor networks, it is important to be able to encrypt and
authenticate messages sent between sensor nodes. Before doing so, keys for performing …

Quorum systems are well-known tools for ensuring the consistency and availability of
replicated data despite the benign failure of data repositories. In this paper we consider the …

Data store replication results in a fundamental trade-off between operation latency and data
consistency. In this paper, we examine this trade-off in the context of quorum-replicated data …

Databases can provide scalability by partitioning data across several servers. However,
multipartition, multioperation transactional access is often expensive, employing …

We outline a generic model for representing de-sign deliberation and the relation between
deliberation and the generation of method-specific artifacts. A design history is regarded as …

We propose a new approach for constructing P2P networks based on a dynamic
decomposition of a continuous space into cells corresponding to servers. We demonstrate …

An understanding of the techniques used to make distributed computing systems and
networks reliable, fault-tolerant and secure will be crucial to those who design and deploy …

Byzantine reliable broadcast is a powerful primitive that allows a set of processes to agree
on a message from a designated sender, even if some processes (including the sender) are …

We address the problem of online payments, where users can transfer funds among
themselves. We introduce Astro, a system solving this problem efficiently in a decentralized …

The blockchain paradigm and its application of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) are
now enabling technologies for the worldwide development of trustworthy and decentralized …
