Byzantine fault tolerant (BFT) consensus protocols are becoming an appealing solution to
blockchains. As most blockchain systems are deployed on Wide Area Networks (WANs) …

Blockchain serves as a replicated transactional processing system in a trustless distributed
environment. Existing blockchain systems all rely on an explicit ordering step to determine …

The prosperity of AI and edge computing has pushed more and more well-trained DNN
models to be deployed on third-party edge devices to compose mission-critical applications …

Enterprise-grade permissioned blockchain systems provide a promising infrastructure for
data sharing and cooperation between different companies. However, performance …

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 …

Recently, stateless blockchains have been proposed to alleviate the storage overhead for
nodes. A stateless blockchain achieves storage-consensus parallelism, where storage …

Existing permissioned blockchains often rely on coordination-based consensus protocols to
ensure the safe execution of applications in a Byzantine environment. Furthermore, the …

In this work, we review the architecture design of existing federated General Adversarial
Networks (GAN) solutions and highlight the security and trust-related weaknesses in the …

Transactions with deadline constraints are prevalent in blockchain-based scenarios like
auctions, elections, and supply chain management, where only transactions completed …

With the trend of processing a large volume of sensitive data on PaaS services (eg, DNN
training), a TEE architecture that supports general heterogeneous accelerators, enables …
