- Additional information
- This is the first paper that uses economic mechanism design to achieve verifiably correct cloud computation, and provides novel insights to the collusion problem and counter-collusion mechanisms. It avoids having to build complex software by utilising rational decision making of the involved parties. The feasibility is demonstrated by experiments on the official Ethereum network - the second largest cryptocurrency platform. The paper was published in ACM CCS which is the premier venue for security and cryptography (Google Scholar), and its impact is evidenced by over 80 citations since its publication in 2017 (Google Scholar).
