Optimal Graph Stretching for Distributed Averaging
Florine W. Dekker, Zekeriya Erkin, Mauro Conti
The performance of distributed averaging depends heavily on the underlying topology. In various fields, including compressed sensing, multi-party computation, and abstract graph th…
Topology-Based Reconstruction Prevention for Decentralised Learning
Florine W. Dekker, Zekeriya Erkin, Mauro Conti
Decentralised learning has recently gained traction as an alternative to federated learning in which both data and coordination are distributed. To preserve the confidentiality of…
Differentially-Private Decision Trees and Provable Robustness to Data Poisoning
Daniël Vos, Jelle Vos, Tianyu Li +2
Decision trees are interpretable models that are well-suited to non-linear learning problems. Much work has been done on extending decision tree learning algorithms with differenti…
How to profit from payments channels
Oguzhan Ersoy, Stefanie Roos, Zekeriya Erkin
Payment channel networks like Bitcoin's Lightning network are an auspicious approach for realizing high transaction throughput and almost-instant confirmations in blockchain networ…
VAPOR: a Value-Centric Blockchain that is Scale-out, Decentralized, and Flexible by Design
Zhijie Ren, Zekeriya Erkin
Blockchains is a special type of distributed systems that operates in unsafe networks. In most blockchains, all nodes should reach consensus on all state transitions with Byzantine…
DEFenD: A Secure and Privacy-Preserving Decentralized System for Freight Declaration
Daniël Vos, Leon Overweel, Wouter Raateland +4
Millions of shipping containers filled with goods move around the world every day. Before such a container may enter a trade bloc, the customs agency of the goods' destination coun…
A Scale-out Blockchain for Value Transfer with Spontaneous Sharding
Zhijie Ren, Kelong Cong, Taico V. Aerts +3
Bitcoin, as well as many of its successors, require the whole transaction record to be reliably acquired by all nodes to prevent double-spending. Recently, many blockchains have be…
Transaction Propagation on Permissionless Blockchains: Incentive and Routing Mechanisms
Oguzhan Ersoy, Zhijie Ren, Zekeriya Erkin +1
Existing permissionless blockchain solutions rely on peer-to-peer propagation mechanisms, where nodes in a network transfer transaction they received to their neighbors. Unfortunat…
Implicit Consensus: Blockchain with Unbounded Throughput
Zhijie Ren, Kelong Cong, Johan Pouwelse +1
Recently, the blockchain technique was put in the spotlight as it introduced a systematic approach for multiple parties to reach consensus without needing trust. However, the appli…
