....parameters (such as the number and the identities of all members) We need three basic protocols to maintain the secret keys within a dynamic group: Add, Remove, and Reshare. Since this work is currently being developed, we only give a brief overview of these here; more details can be found in [68]. Protocol Add adds a new member to the group as a consequence of the joinGroup operation, and supplies the necessary secret keys. For the commonly used linear secret sharing schemes, this can be achieved by means of a distributed secure computation from which the new member learns its secret ....
....party. Protocol Reshare basically involves replacing the degree t sharing polynomial with a randomly chosen degree t # polynomial that shares the same secret. This is a well known primitive in synchronous threshold cryptography, but new protocols had to be developed for the asynchronous case [68]. 5.4.2 Membership with Support from the TTCB This section is concerned with site level membership, i.e. with groups of hosts. The membership service handles basically three operations: the addition of sites to a group, and the removal of sites from the group either due to a failure or to a ....

This is a well known primitive in synchronous threshold cryptography, but new protocols had to be developed for the asynchronous case [46]. 77 4.3 Activity Services This section describes at a high level the protocols used to implement the transactional support service. The following protocols are outlined in this section: Atomic commitment and abort protocols Recovery protocols, Distributed locking protocol, ....
