Intersubjectivity Without Agreement

Intersubjectivity Without Agreement

In this paper, there is an attempt to construct the notion of interstijectivity as a process of a coorakztion of participants’ contributions in joint activity. This notion incorporates the dynamics of bothagreement anddisagreement. Iargue thata traditionaldejbitionof intersubjectivityasastate of overlap of individual unakstandings overemphasizes agreement and&-emphasizes disagreement among the ...

Secure Computation without Agreement

It has recently been shown that executions of authenticated Byzantine Agreement protocols in which more than a third of the parties are corrupted, cannot be composed concurrently, in parallel, or even sequentially (where the latter is true for deterministic protocols). This result puts into question any usage of authenticated Byzantine agreement in a setting where many executions take place. In...

Coordination Without Prior Agreement

Assuming that there is an a priori agreement between processes on the names of shared memory locations, as done in almost all the publications on shared memory algorithms, is tantamount to assuming that agreement has already been solved at the lower-level. From a theoretical point of view, it is intriguing to €gure out how coordination can be achieved without relying on such lower-level agreeme...

Asynchronous Proactive Cryptosystems Without Agreement

In this paper, we present efficient asynchronous protocols that allow to build proactive cryptosystems secure against a mobile fail-stop adversary. Such systems distribute the power of a public-key cryptosystem among a set of servers, so that the security and functionality of the overall system is preserved against an adversary that crashes and/or eavesdrops every server repeatedly and transien...
