Turn-Based Communication Channels
Paper in proceeding, 2021

We introduce the concept of turn-based communication channel between two mutually distrustful parties with communication consistency, i.e. both parties have the same message history, and happens in sets of exchanged messages across a limited number of turns. Our construction leverages on timed primitives. Namely, we consider a Δ -delay hash function definition and use it to establish turns in the channel. Concretely, we introduce the one-way turn-based communication scheme and the two-way turn-based communication protocol and provide a concrete instantiation that achieves communication consistency.
