Abstract

Recent publications combine secret-sharing with byzantine fault-tolerant distribution schemes into safe and secure storage systems. To our knowledge current publications describe chosen algorithms and implementations but do not highlight areas of conflict between secret-sharing and BFT algorithms in a systematic fashing. This paper presents different concrete problem areas and suggests possible solutions.
