Practical Auditability in Trusted Messaging Systems

چکیده
The success of a dispute resolution over an electronic transaction depends on the possibility of trustworthily recreating it. It is crucial to maintain a trusted, thus fully auditable, repository to which a judge could request a transaction recreation. This article presents a practical scheme providing strong guarantees about the auditability of a trusted repository. We use the messaging paradigm to present the mechanism, but it can be applied to any other scenario that needs to maintain fully auditable long term information.

متن کاملHighly Auditable Distributed Systems
Auditability is a key requirement for providing scalability and availability to distributed systems.
