Problem Definition. ‌ To agree on a given piece of information is a classical co- ordination problem in distributed computing. The Two Gen- erals’ Agreement Problem, formulated for the first time by ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ [3] to illustrate the two-phase commit protocol in distributed database systems, is often used to explain the de- sign challenges when attempting to coordinate an action by communicating over a faulty channel, and can be described as follows. Two battalions are encamped near a city, ready to launch the final attack. Because of the redoubtable fortifications, the attack must be carried out by both battallions at the same time in order to succeed. ▇▇▇▇▇, the generals of the two armies need to agree on the time of the attack, and their Figure 1: N-way handshake between nodes S and R. only way to communicate is to send messengers through the valley. The latter is occupied by the city’s defenders, and a messenger can be captured and its message lost, i.e., the communication channel is unreliable. Since each general must be aware that the other general has agreed on the attack plan, messengers are used also to exchange acknowledg- ments. However, because the acknowledgement of a mes- sage receipt can be lost as easily as the original message, a potentially infinite series of messages is required to reach an agreement. A different problem that we are not addressing in this work is how to guarantee the identity of the sender of the message, as well as how to cope with misbehaving parties.

Problem Definition. Brownfields are properties with known or potential environmental contamination that complicates real estate transactions or site redevelopment. Prospective purchasers of such properties need to protect their interests and limit potential losses by defining environmental liability and responsibility for cleanup before taking ownership. Those involved in site reuse planning must also consider the additional costs of cleanup, and therefore have an interest in identifying environmental issues before investing in site redevelopment. For varying reasons, prospective purchasers and property owners may not have the resources or the ability to perform environmental assessments necessary to complete a property transaction or to begin redeveloping a site. The ABP aims to provide environmental information of sufficient quality to allow prospective purchasers and property owners to complete property transfers, get sites cleaned up, and put ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ sites back into a productive use.

Problem Definition. A problem is defined as an unsatisfactory experience encountered by either Party which requires a resolution.

Problem Definition. As mentioned earlier, members in a distributed comput- ing environment can be distributed over the Internet. Fur- thermore, the members can be at a workstation, a laptop, or even at a mobile computer. Conventional group key agreement protocols request all members to contribute to a GK. Consequently, a low performance member or a member located on a high network latency area could MAC (Media Access Control) address [9] by checking his member information DB. After approving members iden- tification, all members start to generate a group key by sending his blind key to the GCS who collects all blind keys and store them into the Blind Key Queues (BKQ) in order of arrival. Then the GCS informs participants who will join the next level of the group key generation. A group controller server (GCS) is similar to the Vir- tual Synchrony [16] that uses a client daemon program to manage membership. The Virtual Synchrony (VS) dae- mon runs on each members machine and synchronizes with other VSs to update membership whenever mem- bership changes. Each member can know other members status due to VS. TGDH uses a VS for maintaining mem- berships. However, Using VS involves complex processes to synchronize with all other VS daemons because mem- bers request a lot of message exchanges to update their status. In the mean time, the QGDH establishes a GCS server instead of running VS daemons on all members machines. Therefore, only one machine in the proposed protocol takes a responsible for a GCS. Current group communication protocols use a self- Figure 2: Queue-based group ▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ entity model Figure 3: The blind key queues in group controller server signed certificate for member authentication, which has a well-known weakness in that members cannot ensure that the name on the public key is really a true member’s to measure members computing power and the other is to measure network latency. These two factors directly affect the performance of a GKGP. No matter how high perfor- ▇▇▇▇▇ the machine, if the time taken for communicational messages to traverse the network is long, then the member must be regarded as low performance. Therefore, BKQ is a simplest way to measure for computing power and net- work latency at once. The number of levels in the GKGP can be determined by a group size. If the group size is n, then the number of levels is log2(n + 1). In the first level, all members are required to generate a blind key. In the next level, The GCS assigns two blind keys...

Problem Definition. In this section we propose a key agreement scheme for secure home networks that would: 1) Allow devices to join the network while main- taining backward secrecy; 2) Allow devices to seamlessly leave the net- work while maintaining forward secrecy; 3) Leverage the fact that a returning device was previously part of the network to allow this device to seamlessly rejoin the network.
