This paper presents a comprehensive survey of the state-of-the-art work on fault tolerance
methods proposed for cloud computing. The survey classifies fault-tolerance methods into …

Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) state-machine replication makes it possible to design systems
that are resilient against arbitrary faults, a requirement considered crucial for an increasing …

No system entity within a contemporary distributed cyber system can be entirely trusted.
Hence, the classic centralized trust management method cannot be directly applied to it …

Byzantine Fault Tolerant state machine replication (BFT) protocols are replication protocols
that tolerate arbitrary faults of a fraction of the replicas. Although significant efforts have been …

Byzantine Fault-Tolerant (BFT) protocols cover a broad spectrum of design dimensions from
infrastructure settings, such as the communication topology, to more technical features, such …

One of the main reasons why Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) systems are not widely used lies
in their high resource consumption: 3 f+ 1 replicas are necessary to tolerate only f faults …

With the advent of trusted execution environments provided by recent general purpose
processors, a class of replication protocols has become more attractive than ever: Protocols …

This paper presents Eve, a new Execute-Verify architecture that allows state machine
replication to scale to multi-core servers. Eve departs from the traditional agree-execute …

Modern supply chain is a complex system and plays an important role for different sectors
under the globalization economic integration background. Supply chain management …

Efficient, leakage-free search on encrypted data has remained an unsolved problem for the
last two decades; efficient schemes are vulnerable to leakage-abuse attacks, and schemes …
