The Complexity of Renaming

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert, Dan Alistarh

We study the complexity of renaming, a fundamental problem in distributed computing in which a set of processes need to pick distinct names from a given namespace. We prove an individual lower bound of Omega(k) process steps for deterministic renaming into ...

On the Reduction of Atomic Broadcast to Consensus with Byzantine Faults

André Schiper, Martin Hutle, Zarko Milosevic

We investigate the reduction of atomic broadcast to consensus in systems with Byzantine faults. Among the several definitions of Byzantine consensus that differ only by their validity property, we identify those equivalent to atomic broadcast. Finally, we ...

Scalable and Secure Aggregation in Distributed Networks

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Hamza Harkous, Florian Huc

We consider the problem of computing an aggregation function in a \emph{secure} and \emph{scalable} way. Whereas previous distributed solutions with similar security guarantees have a communication cost of

O(n^3)

, we present a distributed protocol that r ...

Fast Randomized Test-and-Set and Renaming

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert, Dan Alistarh, Hagit Albo Attiya, Andrei Giurgiu

Most people believe that renaming is easy: simply choose a name \emph{at random}; if more than one process selects the same name, then try again. We highlight the issues that occur when trying to implement such a scheme and shed new light on the read-write ...

Additive Combinatorics and Discrete Logarithm Based Range Protocols

Rafik Chaabouni, Helger Lipmaa

We show how to express an arbitrary integer interval

I = [0, H]

as a sumset

I = \sum_{i=1}^\ell G_i * [0, u - 1] + [0, H']

of smaller integer intervals for some small values

\ell

u

, and

H' < u - 1

, where

b * A = \{b a : a \in A\}

and $A + B = ...

Distributed Agreement with Optimal Communication Complexity

Seth Gilbert

We consider the problem of fault-tolerant agreement in a crash-prone synchronous system. We present a new randomized consensus algorithm that achieves optimal communication efficiency, using only O(n) bits of communication, and terminates in (almost optima ...

Algebraic, AIDA/Cube and Side Channel Analysis of KATAN Family of Block Ciphers

Pouyan Sepehrdad, Jorge Nakahara

This paper presents the first results on AIDA/cube, algebraic and side-channel attacks on variable number of rounds of all members of the KATAN family of block ciphers. Our cube attacks reach 60, 40 and 30 rounds of KATAN32, KATAN48 and KATAN64, respective ...

Silence-Based Communication

Christina Fragouli

Communication complexity---the minimum amount of communication required---of computing a function of data held by several parties is studied. A communication model where silence is used to convey information is introduced. For this model the worst-case and ...

Attacking the Knudsen-Preneel Compression Functions

Martijn Stam, Onur Özen

Knudsen and Preneel (Asiacrypt’96 and Crypto’97) introduced a hash function design in which a linear error-correcting code is used to build a wide-pipe compression function from underlying blockciphers operating in Davies-Meyer mode. In this paper, we (re) ...
