Task distribution method for protecting servers and tasks in a distributed system

摘要

Method for securing tasks and servers in a distributed system from outside attack. Tasks are protected from modification and faulty execution using a combination of redundancy and distribution of data. A stripe virtual machine process control the execution of remote tasks at each server. Stripes are executed redundantly on multiple servers and concurrently on each server. A poller determines the majority machine state among the servers. Attacks are annulled by voting down the attacked server's state and restoring it to the majority state.
