The motto of Sun Microsystems back in the day was “The Network Is The Computer” which might be kind of relevant when CPUs were slower and single-core affairs, but lately …read more Continue reading Accelerate your large builds locally with distcc
I need some serious suggestions on my protocol, specifically for decryption.
So the scenario is Organizations A and B encrypt their employees’ records with their respective public keys and store them in a distributed blockchain.
When a Use… Continue reading Non-interactive multi key encryption and decryption
It is said that PBFT (or Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance consensus) is Byzantine fault tolerant (unlike Paxos or Raft that are only Crash fault tolerant.)
Based on this answer : LINK , in PBFT "a new leader is elected only if ther… Continue reading How does PBFT tolerate Byzantine Leaders?
Cockroach Labs has many things going for it. The company’s approach to distributed database technology is novel, and it has the potential to gain significant market share internationally. Continue reading “Developers, as you know, do not like to pay for things”
Assume in a distributed network, where the nodes are not trusted and are identified by their public keys, we intend to select one of them in a random process. In such a situation, all of the nodes have the same chances to be elected.
Since… Continue reading How to select a random node when nodes are untrusted in a distributed network?
Let’s assume we have an internal environment consisting of some distributed systems, one central system and an internal PKI. The central system is serving a cluster of HSMs that shall be accessable by network in a securely controlled way. … Continue reading Secure Authentication of Technical User to a Network-Appliance-HSM
I’ve been thinking about this problem for some time and I wanted to ask if there are any known methods, or research papers, about how to prove "authenticity" or correctness of data originating from a potentially compromised sourc… Continue reading Methods to Prove Data Authenticity from Potentially Compromised Sources?
A great big Thank You to everyone who answered the call to participate in Folding@Home, helping to understand proteins interactions of SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19. Some members of the FAH research team hosted an AMA (Ask Me Anything) session on Reddit to provide us with behind-the-scenes details. Unsurprisingly, the …read more
Put it to work for the Folding@Home distributed computing project to uncover how the virus’s spikes latch on and how they can be blocked. Continue reading Your unused computer can help find a COVID-19 cure
On Wednesday morning we asked the Hackaday community to donate their extra computer cycles for Coronavirus research. On Thursday morning the number of people contributing to Team Hackaday had doubled, and on Friday it had doubled again. Thank you for putting those computers to work in pursuit of drug therapies …read more
