Abstract:

When there is no central administrator to control the actions of
nodes in a distributed system, users may deviate for personal
gain. How, then, can we design protocols that give any useful
guarantee?

In this talk I present research done at the University of Texas at
Austin. I show how the BAR model accurately describes these
environments and, through an example, show how to apply this model
to build protocols that provide guarantees despite rational and
Byzantine nodes.
