Towards General-Purpose Decentralized Computing with Permissionless Extensibility

Smart contracts have emerged as the most promising foundations for applications of the blockchain technology. Even though smart contracts are expected to serve as the backbone of the next-generation web, they have several limitations that hinder their wide ...

Byzantine consensus is Θ(n^2): the Dolev-Reischuk bound is tight even in partial synchrony!

Rachid Guerraoui, Jovan Komatovic, Manuel José Ribeiro Vidigueira, Pierre Philippe Civit, Vincent Gramoli, Seth Gilbert

The Dolev-Reischuk bound says that any deterministic Byzantine consensus protocol has (at least) quadratic (in the number of processes) communication complexity in the worst case: given a system with n processes and at most f < n/3 failures, any solution t ...

Chat2Code: A Chatbot for Model Specification and Code Generation, The Case of Smart Contracts

Shailesh Mishra

The potential of automatic code generation through Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) frameworks has yet to be realized. Beyond their ability to help software professionals write more accurate, reusable code, MDE frameworks could make programming accessible fo ...

Byzantine Consensus is Θ(n^2): The Dolev-Reischuk Bound is Tight even in Partial Synchrony!

Rachid Guerraoui, Jovan Komatovic, Vincent Gramoli, Pierre Philippe Civit, Seth Gilbert, Manuel José Ribeiro Vidigueira

The Dolev-Reischuk bound says that any deterministic Byzantine consensus protocol has (at least) quadratic communication complexity in the worst case. While it has been shown that the bound is tight in synchronous environments, it is still unknown whether ...

CALYPSO: Private Data Management for Decentralized Ledgers

Bryan Alexander Ford, Linus Gasser, Eleftherios Kokoris Kogias, Philipp Svetolik Jovanovic, Enis Ceyhun Alp

Distributed ledgers provide high availability and integrity, making them a key enabler for practical and secure computation of distributed workloads among mutually distrustful parties. Many practical applications also require strong confidentiality, howeve ...

Smart Contract With Secret Parameters

Serge Vaudenay

By design, smart contracts' data and computations are public to all participants. In this paper, we study how to create smart contracts with parameters that need to stay secret. We propose a way to keep some of the parameters off-chain, while guaranteeing ...

The Performance of Byzantine Fault Tolerant Blockchains

Vincent Gramoli

Blockchains have captured the attention of many, resulting in an abundance of new systems available for use. However, selecting an appropriate blockchain for an application is challenging due to the lack of comparative information discussing core metrics s ...

Cooperative energy management of a community of smart-buildings: A Blockchain approach

Maher Kayal, Olivier Valentin Henri Van Cutsem

Demand Response (DR) is progressively moving from a centralized, unidirectional structure to a set of advanced decentralized mechanisms that better balance distributed supply and demand. This paper presents a decentralized cooperative DR framework to manag ...

Replicated state machines without replicated execution

Kirill Nikitin

This paper introduces a new approach to reduce end-to-end costs in large-scale replicated systems built under a Byzantine fault model. Specifically, our approach transforms a given replicated state machine (RSM) to another RSM where nodes incur lower costs ...

Malware in the SGX supply chain: Be careful when signing enclaves!

Rafael Pereira Pires, Pascal Felber

Malware attacks are a significant part of the new software security threats detected each year. Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX) are a set of hardware instructions introduced by Intel in their recent lines of processors that are intended to provide a ...
