Started working on "Rumors in a Network: Who's the culprit?" Notes are available at: https://hackmd.io/gM7FXo4bQi2KVS9C_yvtbA?edit

[chloethedev]

https://www.freehaven.net/anonbib/cache/george-thesis.pdf seems to be the same as https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/techreports/UCAM-CL-TR-594.pdf. Could be wrong, remember to ask.

[Mikerah]

@chloethedev Nope, they are different. One is Danezis's master's thesis and the other his PhD thesis. There's overlapping content though.

[Mikerah]

Actually, both seem to be his PhD thesis but one is more of a technical report. There's overlapping content in both. Just read the whichever one is easiest.

One of them, https://www.freehaven.net/anonbib/cache/george-thesis.pdf, did not show up well on my browser so I went through the technical report which I noted in the notes. Thank you for the response.
