Publication of an article in the Communications of the ACM:
Dr. Malluhi has published an article
titled “The Limit of Blockchains:
Infeasibility of a Smart Obama-Trump
Contract”. In this article Dr Malluhi
formulated an Obama-Trump contract and showed that such a contract wouldn’t be able
to be implemented using blockchain smart-contract techniques. Some of these techniques
include the use of Cleve’s result on the limit of coin flips when half the participants are
faulty, then try to enforce the contract on a block chain, from which they have established
that such a contract is infeasible.
