In this paper we consider a model where malicious agents can corrupt hosts and move around in a network of processors. We consider a family of mobile-fault models MF(t n?1 ;). In MF(t n?1 ;) there are a total of n processors, the maximum number of mobile faults is t, and their roaming pace is (for example, = 3 means that it takes an agent at least 3 rounds to \hop" to the next host). We study i...
