 +==== BFT notification system: BFT tweeter (Master project) ====
 +
 +
 +=== Introduction ===
 +
 +[[http://​tweeter.com|Tweeter]] is a well know notification system, with millions of users, and billions of messages processed daily. However, Tweeter was not designed from ground-up to handle all possible kinds of faults. In situations where reliability is a primary concern (natural disaster notification,​ military operations, ...), Tweeter may not be an ideal solution.
 +
 +The main idea of this project is to evaluate which properties a reliable notification system should have, and implement them in a prototype. The reliable notification system should be resilient against all possible attacks, and should offer guarantees on delivery/​dissemination.
 +
 +=== Goals of the Project ===
 +
 +The project would consist of:
 +
 +  - Modelling the components of the notification system.
 +  - Implementing the system.
 +  - Evaluation of the implementation.
