Abstract:

This final technical report presents a novel protocol to achieve invariability of nested method invocations. This protocol tolerates Byzantine faulty clients, as is necessary when methods are invoked from other distributed objects that themselves must withstand Byzantine faults. This final report further presents a detail of this protocol, an argument about its correctness and a description of its implementation and performance in a distributed object system.
