VerSum

Assumption

We need to assume that all peers around me could be malicious. Skipping to read this paper because of the following assumption.

VERSUM assumes that at least one server is honest, and crucially, when servers disagree, VERSUM uses an efficient conflict resolution protocol to determine which server(s) made a mistake and thus obtain the correct output.
