| Abstract | In distributed proof construction systems, information release policies can make it unlikely that any single node in the system is aware of the complete structure of any particular proof tree. This property makes it difficult for queriers to determine whether the proofs constructed using these protocols sampled a consistent snapshot of the system state; this has previously been shown to have dire consequences in decentralized authorization systems. Unfortunately, the consistency enforcement solutions presented in previous work were designed for systems in which only information encoded in certificates issued by certificate authorities is used during the decision-making process. Further, they assume that each piece of certified evidence used during proof construction is available to the decision-making node at runtime. In this paper, we generalize these previous results and present lightweight mechanisms through which consistency constraints can be enforced in proof systems in which the full details of a proof may be unavailable to the querier and the existence of certificate authorities for certifying evidence is unlikely; these types of distributed proof systems are likely candidates for use in pervasive computing and sensor network environments. We present modifications to one such distributed proof system that enable two types of consistency constraints to be enforced while still respecting the same confidentiality and integrity policies as the original proof system. Further, we detail a performance analysis that illustrates the modest overheads of our consistency enforcement schemes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
