A Tight Lower Bound for k-Set Agreement
: Weprove tight bounds on the time needed to solve k-set agreement, a natural generalization of consensus. We analyze this problem in a synchronous, message-passing model where pro...

Solving k-Set Agreement with Stable Skeleton Graphs
In this paper we consider the k-set agreement problem in distributed round-based systems where processes communicate by message passing. We capture the synchrony and reliability o...

The Bare Bounded-Storage Model: The Tight Bound on the Storage Requirement for Key Agreement
Abstract--In the bounded-storage model (BSM) for information-theoretic secure encryption and key agreement, one makes use of a random string R whose length t is greater than the as...

Key agreement from weak bit agreement
Assume that Alice and Bob, given an authentic channel, have a protocol where they end up with a bit SA and SB, respectively, such that with probability 1+ 2 these bits are equal. ...
