Decentralized cloud computing has been explored across several
|
|
dimensions. Filecoin \cite{benet2017filecoin} provides decentralized
|
|
storage with proof-of-spacetime verification but does not address
|
|
compute, relay, or recovery services. Akash Network \cite{akash2020}
|
|
offers a decentralized compute marketplace but lacks client-side
|
|
encryption and chain-enforced SLAs. Golem \cite{golem2016} and
|
|
iExec \cite{iexec2017} provide decentralized compute but focus on
|
|
batch processing rather than real-time service markets.
|
|
|
|
The capsule architecture for user-owned encrypted data builds on
|
|
local-first software principles \cite{kleppmann2019localfirst} and
|
|
the Solid project's user-controlled data pods \cite{bernerslee2016solid}.
|
|
The Lux model extends these with chain-enforced SLAs, provider
|
|
reputation, and compute markets.
|
|
|
|
Threshold cryptography for recovery draws on Shamir's secret sharing
|
|
\cite{shamir1979share} and recent work on threshold ECDSA
|
|
\cite{gennaro2020frost} for distributed key management. The Lux
|
|
recovery provider model applies these primitives in a market context
|
|
where recovery availability is economically incentivized.
|
|
|
|
Provider reputation without surveillance relates to privacy-preserving
|
|
reputation systems studied by Androulaki et al.\ \cite{androulaki2008reputation}
|
|
and Kerschbaum \cite{kerschbaum2009reputation}. The Lux approach uses
|
|
on-chain verifiable signals rather than encrypted feedback, avoiding
|
|
the complexity of fully homomorphic reputation aggregation while
|
|
providing a practical privacy/accuracy tradeoff.
