Transparent Byzantine Fault-Tolerant Directory Service using COTS components
نویسندگان
چکیده
A directory service is a critical component of any distributed computing infrastructure given that its failure may lead to the inaccessibility of many network services. In this work, we propose an architecture that allows to add Byzantine fault tolerance to existing directory services in a transparent way: neither directory services nor client applications need to be modified. Moreover, this architecture can be implemented using COTS components.

Crash and Authenticated Byzantine Fault Tolerance: A Fail Signaling Approach
Group communication middlewaresystems are particularly useful in supporting replication and thus in building dependable services. Many such systemshave been implemented assuming crash failure semantics. While this assumption is not unreasonable, it becomes hard to justify when applications are required to meet high reliability requirements and are built using commercial off the shelf (COTS) com...

Many fault-tolerant group communication middleware systems have been implemented assuming crash failure semantics. While this assumption is not unreasonable, it becomes hard to justify when applications are required to meet high reliability requirements and are built using commercial off the shelf (COTS) components. This paper presents a structured approach to extend a crash-tolerant middleware...
متن کاملByzantine Fault Tolerance Model for Soap Faults
The proposed model is to configure Byzantine Fault Tolerance mechanism for every SOAP fault message that is transmitted. The reliability and availability are of major requirements of Web services since they operate in the distributed environment. One of the reliability issues is handling faults. Fault occurs in all the phases of Service Oriented Architecture i.e. during publishing, discovery, c...

This paper describes the design, implementation and usage of a secure scalable Byzantine fault tolerant MDS system in the Grid. The scalable Byzantine fault tolerant MDS system provides a hierarchy GIIS servers, a local GIIS domain can require the resource it needs from remote GIIS domain. By using the statemachine replication approach and quorum system technique, the scalable Byzantine fault t...
متن کاملSITAR: A Scalable Intrusion-Tolerant Architecture for Distributed Services-A Technology Summary
This paper presents a intrusion tolerant architecture for distributed services, especially COTS servers. It is motivated by two observations: First, no security precautions can guarantee that a system will not be penetrated; Second, mission critical applications need to provide minimal level of services even under active attacks or partially compromised. The emphasis of proposed architecture is...
