Decentralized and Distributed Systems Lab

Laboratory

The Decentralized and Distributed Systems Laboratory (DEDIS) at EPFL focuses on projects related to large-scale collective authorities (cothorities) that distribute trust among independent parties for scalable self-organizing communities. Their work includes securing software updates, providing public randomness, enabling privacy-conscious medical-data sharing, and ensuring fast, scalable, accountable anonymous communication. DEDIS also explores communicating securely over insecure channels. They have developed projects like OmniLedger for decentralized ledger via sharding, CHAINIAC for proactive software-update transparency, and CALYPSO for auditable sharing of private data over blockchains. The lab offers research project software on GitHub and occasionally recruits software engineers via StackOverflow.
