An emerging thread of research investigates interactions between fault-tolerance and attack-tolerance---specifically, the coupling of replication with threshold cryptography for use in environments satisfying weak assumptions. This coupling yields a new paradigm known as distributed trust, which is the subject of this paper.69189 bytesapplication/pdfen-UScomputer sciencetechnical reporttechnical report
