"Secure Replication-Based Outsourced Computation Using Smart Contracts" by Willy Susilo, Fuchun Guo et al.
The replication-Based Outsourced Computation (RBOC) mechanism allows a client to outsource the same computing job to multiple contractors and the honest contractors will get paid in the incentivized system based on the fact that a majority of contractors will honestly perform the computation. As self-executing contracts, smart contracts are utilized in the decentralized blockchain networks to execute coded programs automatically transparently, and publicly. It is natural to apply smart contracts to RBOC to improve performance by setting smart contracts as the converter between the client and c...
