Dynamic Byzantine Reliable Broadcast

Rachid Guerraoui, Jovan Komatovic, Dragos-Adrian Seredinschi

Reliable broadcast is a communication primitive guaranteeing, intuitively, that all processes in a distributed system deliver the same set of messages. The reason why this primitive is appealing is twofold: (i) we can implement it deterministically in a co ...

Online Payments by Merely Broadcasting Messages

Rachid Guerraoui, Jovan Komatovic, Daniel Patrick Collins, Matej Pavlovic, Dragos-Adrian Seredinschi, Matteo Monti, Athanasios Xygkis

We address the problem of online payments, where users can transfer funds among themselves. We introduce Astro, a system solving this problem efficiently in a decentralized, deterministic, and completely asynchronous manner. Astro builds on the insight tha ...

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 ...

Secure Contactless Payment

Serge Vaudenay, Handan Kilinç Alper

A contactless payment lets a card holder execute payment without any interaction (e.g., entering PIN or signing) between the terminal and the card holder. Even though the security is the first priority in a payment system, the formal security model of cont ...

Security of Distance-Bounding: A Survey

Serge Vaudenay, Srdan Capkun, Martin Benjamin, Gildas Avoine, Aslan Tchamkerten, Ioana Cristina Carlson

Distance-bounding protocols allow a verifier to both authenticate a prover and evaluate whether the latter is located in his vicinity. These protocols are of particular interest in contactless systems, e.g. electronic payment or access control systems, whi ...

A roadmap for the development of precision medicine

Marie-Valentine Renée Agnès Florin, Gérard Escher

The purpose of the roadmap proposed by IRGC is to recommend a structured process that organisations can follow in their transition towards the development of precision medicine. The process is adaptable, and each organisation should further develop it to a ...

A test of inventory models with permissible delay in payment

Ralf Seifert, Olov Isaksson

Contrary to the long-standing view in the finance literature that firms should maximise payment delays, research in operations management suggests that long payment delays can be suboptimal. In this study, we reconcile these two views by applying a seconda ...

A View on Venetian Apprenticeship through the Garzoni Database

Giovanni Colavizza

A sample of contracts of apprenticeship from three periods in the history of early modern Venice is analysed, as recorded in the archive of the Giustizia Vecchia, a venetian magistracy. The periods are the end of the 16th century, the 1620s and the 1650s. ...

Uniqueness of equilibrium in a payment system with liquidation costs

Damir Filipovic, Léo Hamed Amini

We study a financial network where forced liquidations of an illiquid asset have a negative impact on its price, thus reinforcing network contagion. We give conditions for uniqueness of the clearing asset price and liability payments. Our main result holds ...

Efficient Public-Key Distance Bounding Protocol

Serge Vaudenay, Handan Kilinç Alper

Distance bounding protocols become more and more important because they are the most accurate solution to defeat relay attacks. They consist of two parties: a verifier and a prover. The prover shows that (s)he is close enough to the verifier. In some appli ...

Sound Proof of Proximity of Knowledge

Serge Vaudenay

Public-key distance bounding schemes are needed to defeat relay attacks in payment systems. So far, only five such schemes exist, but fail to fully protect against malicious provers. In this paper, we solve this problem. We provide a full formalism to defi ...

Challenges in Algorithmic Mechanism Design

Paul David Dütting

This thesis addresses three challenges in algorithmic mechanism design, which seeks to devise computationally efficient mechanisms consisting of an outcome rule and a payment rule that implement desirable outcomes in strategic equilibrium. The first challe ...

Virtual Elevators' Contribution to Sustainable Transport Policies: The Importance of a Smart Regulator and "Not-Too-Smart" Cards

Tristan Chevroulet

The most significant contributions of new technologies to the implementation of sustainable urban travel policies appear to be twofold: a better understanding of users’ behavior, and the improvement of interfaces between operators. Smart cards, i.e. chip c ...

Integrating Direct and Indirect Sales Channels Under Decentralized Decision Making

Ralf Seifert

Many manufacturers have started to use virtual stores as a direct distribution channel in addition to their existing indirect retail channels. These companies must now decide how to integrate these channels. The alternatives are to operate dedicated distri ...
