Systematizing Decentralization and Privacy: Lessons from 15 years of research and deployments
Carmela Troncoso et al.
Decentralized systems are a subset of distributed systems where multiple authorities control different components and no authority is fully trusted by all. This implies that any component in a decentralized system is potentially adversarial. We revise fifteen years of research on decentralization and privacy, and provide an overview[...]
