Application season for junior research fellowships (JRFs) across Oxbridge is beginning. We do not always do enough to advertise these opportunities, particularly to underrepresented groups, so please reach out if you would like advice about applying. careers.cam.ac.uk/sectors/ac…
1/6 Here are the slides for my @inretafo Applied Network Research Prize presentation "Scanning the Internet for Liveness" tomorrow @ietf #IETF108: sheharbano.com/assets/talks/…
5/6 A significant fraction of hosts active at the transport layer (26% on average for TCP services and 12% for UDP) cannot be discovered via ICMP
6/6 Read our paper for a systematic methodology to capture a comprehensive and minimally noisy view of IP liveness, along with interesting results from our analysis of scan data corresponding to 8 concurrent ICMP, TCP and UDP scans: sheharbano.com/assets/public…

Tech report on "FastPay: High-Performance Byzantine Fault Tolerant Settlement" is online (arxiv.org/abs/2003.11506) along with prototype code (github.com/calibra/fastpay). We show Byzantine Fault Tolerant settlement can scale up to global retail payments volumes.

A high-level overview of the Twins approach to BFT testing is posted here: dahliamalkhi.wordpress.com/2…

The main idea of Twins is that we can emulate Byzantine behavior by running two (or generally up to k) instances of a node with the same identity. Each of the two instances (or twins) runs unmodified, correct code
