The protocol enables a set of secret shares to be periodically refreshed with a new, independent set, thereby thwarting mobile-adversary attacks. Protocols for asynchronous systems are inherently less vulnerable to denial-of-service attacks, which slow processor execution or delay message delivery. So APSS tolerates certain attacks that PSS protocols for synchronous systems cannot.}, publisher = {ACM Press}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/apss-proactive-secret-sharing-in-asynchronous-systems/}, pages = {259-286}, journal = {ACM Transactions on Information System Security}, volume = {8}, edition = {ACM Transactions on Information System Security}, }
