Grundstrukturen fehlertoleranter und sicherer verteilter Algorithmen

在实践中，计算机系统的故障可能是由于硬件和软件故障引起的，也可能是由系统攻击者发起的恶意行为的结果。前者应使用容错机制处理，后者应使用计算机安全方法处理。虽然这两个领域的目标是相同的，但实现这些目标的方法和模式却截然不同。该研究项目旨在为容错和安全的分布式系统的算法设计开发一个联合基础。

In practice, failures of computer systems can arise due to hardware and software faults, but also as the result of mailicious actions initiated by an attacker of the system. While the former should be dealt with using fault-tolerance mechanismus, the latter should be addressed using approaches from computer security. Although the goals in these two areas are the same, the methodologies and paradigms for achieving them have been quite different. This research project aims at developing a joint basis for the design of algorithms for fault-tolerant and secure distributed systems.
