Transition from Hierarchical to Distributed Verification Protocols: Consensus Formation in Transforming Network Topologies — Kateryna Isirova1,2, Oleksandr Potii2, and •Jens Christian Claussen1 — 1Department of Mathematics, Aston University, Birmingham B4 7ET, U.K. — 2V.

Computer verification protocols are distributed processes on networks and have the goal of reaching an overall consensus state where all nodes become verified through a protocol interaction. An important goal is to ensure the security of such interactions, especially in advent of quantum computing technologies. It might be that in the post-quantum world, the avatar of verification architectures will be manifested through distributed protocols. Here we augment the discussion by explicitely drawing the analogy between distributed protocol consensus formation and consensus formation in social networks in various topologies. Hierarchical networks, in both domains, exhibit slowest timescale of consensus formation. We conclude this supports universal argument towards establishment of distributed protocol mechanisms, wherever the scaleability with network size is of relevance.
