SBFT: a Scalable and Decentralized Trust Infrastructure
Guy Golan Gueta,Ittai Abraham,Shelly Grossman,Dahlia Malkhi,Benny Pinkas,Michael K. Reiter,Dragos-Adrian Seredinschi,Orr Tamir,Alin Tomescu +8 more
TL;DR: The results show that SBFT simultaneously provides almost 2x better throughput and about 1.5x better latency relative to a highly optimized system that implements the PBFT protocol.

PrivateFS: a parallel oblivious file system
TL;DR: Extensions providing fork consistency against an actively malicious adversary and new de-amortization techniques bring the worst case query cost in line with the average cost are presented.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Catena: Efficient Non-equivocation via Bitcoin
Alin Tomescu,Srinivas Devadas +1 more
TL;DR: Catena enables any number of thin clients, such as mobile phones, to efficiently agree on a log of application-specific statements managed by an adversarial server, and increases the bandwidth requirements of log auditors from 90GB to only tens of megabytes.

SBFT: A Scalable and Decentralized Trust Infrastructure
Guy Golan Gueta,Ittai Abraham,Shelly Grossman,Dahlia Malkhi,Benny Pinkas,Michael K. Reiter,Dragos-Adrian Seredinschi,Orr Tamir,Alin Tomescu +8 more
TL;DR: SBFT as discussed by the authors is a Byzantine fault tolerant state machine replication system that addresses the challenges of scalability, decentralization and global geo-replication, and is optimized for decentralization.

SBFT: a Scalable Decentralized Trust Infrastructure for Blockchains.
Guy Golan-Gueta,Ittai Abraham,Shelly Grossman,Dahlia Malkhi,Benny Pinkas,Michael K. Reiter,Dragos-Adrian Seredinschi,Orr Tamir,Alin Tomescu +8 more
TL;DR: SBFT provides a smart contract execution environment based on Ethereum's EVM byte-code that addresses the challenges of scalability and decentralization and shows speedups both in throughput and in latency.
