Method for securing concurrence among asynchronous processors

Journal Article · · IBM Tech. Disclosure Bull.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5214249

The authors describe a method of securing concurrence among asynchronous processors in the presence of undetected faults, comprising the steps of (1) invoking an authentication protocol in order to ensure that received messages were faithfully relayed by intermediate processors whether faulty or not, and (2) transmitting a target message among the processors to secure agreement as to a value within the messages such that no more than two messages need be sent.
