Proceedings ArticleDOI
Cryptographic protocols
TL;DR: A cryptographic transformation is a mapping f from a set of cleartext messages, M, to aSet of ciphertext messages, f, so that f(m) should be difficult to infer from f and public knowledge about f.
Journal ArticleDOI
Limitations of the Kerberos authentication system
TL;DR: A number of problems in the Kerberos authentication system, a part of MIT's Project Athena, are discussed, and solutions to some of them are presented.

A cryptographic protocol for secure communications
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a cryptographic communication system, which employs a novel combination of public and private key cryptography, allowing two parties, who share only a relatively insecure password, to bootstrap a computationally secure cryptographic system over an insecure network.
Journal ArticleDOI
Easy impossibility proofs for distributed consensus problems
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that no solution to Byzantine agreement, weak agreement, Byzantine firing squad, approximate agreement, and clock synchronization can be found for communication graphs with fewer than 3m+1 nodes or less than 2m + 1 connectivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lazy caching
TL;DR: An algorithm is presented that exploits a weaker condition than is normally implemented to achieve greater concurrency and is shown to satisfy the weak consistency condition.
