Abstract
This paper presents the first architecture for large-scale,
wide-area intrusion-tolerant state machine replication
that is specifically designed to perform well even when
some of the servers are Byzantine. The architecture
is hierarchical and runs attack-resilient state machine
replication protocols within and among the wide-area
sites. Given the constraints of the wide-area environ-
