Abstract

Despite our best efforts, any sufficiently complex computer system hasvulnerabilities. It is safe to assume that such vulnerabilities can beexploited by attackers who will be able to penetrate the system.Intrusion tolerance attempts to maintain acceptable service despitesuch intrusions. This paper presents an application ofintrusion-tolerance concepts to Enclaves, a software infrastructurefor supporting secure group applications. Intrusion tolerance isachieved via a combination of Byzantine fault-tolerant protocols andsecret sharing techniques.
