On Diffusing Updates in a Byzantine Environment
We study how to efficiently diffuse updates to a large distributed system of data replicas, some of which may exhibit arbitrary (Byzantine) failures. We assume that strictly fewer...

Trust and Electronic Commerce - More than a Technical Problem
In our paper we argue that the building of trust in electronic commerce depends only partly on technical security and the knowledge of security gaps and ways of closing them. It i...
