Research
The goal of my research is to
investigate ways of building highly dependable and secure distributed
systems. Over the past several years, my focus has evolved from building
fault tolerance systems using reliable group communication toolkits, to the
integration of replication and transaction processing, to state machine
replication based on the Paxos algorithm, and to
Byzantine fault tolerance. Very recently, I started to investigate
alternative approaches towards intrusion-tolerant systems that can withstand
both hardware failures and malicious attacks.
