These types of networks have been shown to be highly heterogeneous. However, current DLTs fail to consider this heterogeneity which can render low-end nodes to be unable to participate in consensus. In this paper we introduce Healthor, a novel heterogeneity-aware flow-control mechanism that formalizes this heterogeneity in a notion of health of a node. In our early simulation results we show that Healthor enables high-end nodes to protect their weaker neighbors by buffering at their end while incurring only minimal overhead.","PeriodicalId":373983,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 4th Workshop on Scalable and Resilient Infrastructures for Distributed Ledgers","volume":"12 1-4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120963357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tang, Kai Li, Yibo Wang, Sencer Burak Somuncuoglu","doi":"10.1145/3429884.3430032","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/3429884.3430032","url":null,"abstract":"This work presents TxChecker, a secure logging system over a private blockchain with two salient features: 1) TxChecker prevents log forking attacks without trusting any external party other than the blockchain, 2) TxChecker achieves a low cost on log auditors that is proportional to the data being audited. TxChecker employs a novel scheme to map the misbehavior of forking logs to the double-spending transactions, which are invalidated by the underlying blockchain. In the TxChecker protocol, clients and the server in the domain infrastructure both attest to a history of concurrent operations and send blockchain transactions. A prototype of TxChecker is implemented in HyperLedger Fabric. Evaluation shows that TxChecker reduces the costs of log auditors significantly compared to replication-based log schemes.","PeriodicalId":373983,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 4th Workshop on Scalable and Resilient Infrastructures for Distributed Ledgers","volume":"125 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132701639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
