Abstract

A software architecture encoded on a non-transitory computer readable medium, where the software architecture includes a creation protocol, wherein the creation protocol is configured to create a plurality of dealing messages. The software architecture additionally includes a reading protocol, wherein the reading protocol is configured to read the dealing message to a receiver node of the selected group, wherein the receiver node is different from a dealer node whose information is contained in the corresponding dealing message. Moreover, the software architecture includes a verification protocol, wherein the verification protocol is configured to verify veracity of the corresponding dealing message, wherein the verification protocol is configured to be run by the receiver node. Further, the software architecture includes a complaint protocol, wherein the complaint protocol is configured to generate a complaint message, wherein the complaint message is signed by the receiver node.
