| Abstract: |
The wandering token idea relies on a reliable token passing protocol.
Such protocol must ensure that the token loss event is infrequent, and
that duplication never occurs. In addition, it must allow mutual
authentication among the partners. The seminar presents a technical
solution to such problems, using a 4 ways UDP protocol. A Perl
implementation of our solution is currently under test, and the
presentation is somewhat technical. |
