TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Suicide for the common good: A new strategy for credential revocation in self-organizing systems JO - Operating systems review (ACM) A1 - Clulow, Jolyon A1 - Moore, Tyler SP - 18 EP - 21 VL - 40 IS - 3 N2 - We consider the problem of credential revocation in self-organizing systems. In the absence of a common trusted authority, reaching a decision is slow, expensive and prone to manipulation. We propose a radical, new strategy-suicide for the common good - which drastically simplifies the decision-making process and revocation orders. Our mechanism is fully decentralized, incurs low communication and storage overhead, enables fast removal of misbehaving nodes, and is ideally suited to highly mobile networks.
