Abstract. In this paper we present an eficient protocol for “Committed Oblivious Transfer” to perform oblivious transfer on committed bits: suppose Alice is committed to bits 0...
The current standard in governing distributed transaction termination is the so-called Two-Phase Commit protocol (2PC). The first phase of 2PC is a voting phase, where the partici...

Abstract. We provide a new characterization of certain zero-knowledge protocols as non-interactive instance-dependent commitment-schemes (NIC). To obtain this result we consider th...
—The support of distributed atomic transactions in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) is a key requirement for many mobile application scenarios. Atomicity is a fundamental property ...
Using model checking to verify that interaction protocols have given properties is widely recognized as an important issue in multiagent systems where autonomous and heterogeneous ...
