In this paper we present a rigorous treatment to structured overlay maintenance in decentralized peerto-peer (P2P) systems subject to various system and network failures. we prese...
In today’s extensive worldwide Internet traffic, some 60% of network congestion is caused by Peer to Peer sessions. Consequently ISPs are facing many challenges like: paying fo...
Suppose we are given a proof of knowledge P in which a prover demonstrates that he knows a solution to a given problem instance. Suppose also that we have a secret sharing scheme S...
