Abstract

We introduce verifiable agreement as a fundamental service for securing mobile peer-to-peer ad hoc networks, and investigate its solvability. Verifiability of a protocol result means that the participants can prove that the protocol reached a particular result to any third party (the verifier) which was not present in the network at the time of the protocol execution.
