Agreement Protocol Sample Clauses

Agreement Protocol. First we describe how PBFT achieves agreement on a unique order of requests within a single view. Figure 25.9 shows how the nodes come to an agreement on a sequence number for a client request. Informally, the protocol has these five steps: 1. The nodes receive a request and relay it to the primary. 2. The primary sends a pre-prepare-message to all backups, informing them that it wants to execute that request with the sequence number specified in the message. 3. Backups send prepare-messages to all nodes, informing them that they agree with that suggestion. 4. All nodes send commit-messages to all nodes, informing everyone that they have committed to execute the request with that sequence number. 5. They execute the request and inform the client.
Agreement Protocol. The fact that the message history can be modified does not mean that both participants agree on anything. It just allows them to revise earlier statements, which is not sufficient to coordinate actions between agents. In order to coordi- nate, it is required to come to a shared understanding about facts, which requires that the agents state the facts and that they signal each other that they agree on them. In the Semantic Web, the core of such an agreement naturally is a set of triples. Consequently, the agreement protocol allows the participants to select a set of triples as agreed-upon.

C → D The result is formally defined as the agreement function Fagr : , yielding a dataset in which each graph corresponds to one agreement in the conversation C and the associated graph name is an IRI that identifies the agreement.5 In the following, we define Fagr. 5 Note that Fagr, in contrast to Smod and Sack, does not simply select named graphs from a dataset. Rather, it selects them and recombines their triples, hence we do not refer to it as a selection.

Agreement Protocol. Each receiver chooses a secret key, S. ;;; The receiver publishes a public key, which gives a, p, and ;;; P=a^S(mod p). The receiver also supplies a procedure that the ;;; sender can call with the ciphertext. Given a message, m, the ;;; sender chooses his own secret, T, and composes a ciphertext that ;;; has two components, x=a^T(mod p) and y=m*P^T(mod p). The ;;; Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx shared secret is x^S(mod p)=P^T(mod p). So the ;;; receiver decrypts the message by computing m=(y/x^S)(mod p).
