Each peer $p$ knows the list of peers to whom he is connected, this list is denoted by $NS_p$. If $q\in NS_p$ then $p$ can send the message $m$ to $q$ using the function \textsf{send($q$, $m$)}. $\langle a, b, \ldots\rangle$ will be used to denote the serialisation (depending on the implemetation) of two or more pieces of data. \subsection{Principle} The protcol works in three phases: \subsubsection*{Phase 1: Seeding} The server generates a unique seed and initiates a seed pulse which is diffused through the network. Upon receiving the seed, each peer signs it with his private key and hashes it. This hash is called the \emph{token} of the peer. \textsf{Seed($i$, seed$^i$, $T$, S$^i_{seed}$)} is used to diffuse the seed pulse during this phase, where: \begin{itemize} \item $i$ is the round number. \item \textsf{seed$^i$} is the seed of round $i$. \item $T$ is the duration of the seeding phase. \item \textsf{S$^i_{pulse}$} is \textsf{sign($\langle$$i$, seed$^i$, $T$$\rangle$, KS$_{priv}$)}. \end{itemize} \subsubsection*{Phase 2: Hashing} Each peer starts collecting the tokens of his neighbors and adds his own token to the collected hashes, obtaining a peer-token map. The hash of this map yields a new token which is sent back to the neighbors. This progressively builds a hash graph, until the root server itself hashes the tokens of its children. \textsf{SeedReply($i$, H$_p$)} is used to build the hash graph during this phase, where \textsf{H$_p$} is the token sent by peer $p$, that is, the hash of the collected map of the tokens received by peer $p$. \subsubsection*{Phase 3: Pulse} The server initiates a new pulse with the map it has collected from its childrens. Upon receiving the pulse, each peer adds to the pulse the map associated with the token that has been collected during Phase 2. Thus, each peer receives a list of hash maps corresponding to a path from the root to himself in the hash graph computed during Phase 2. \textsf{Pulse($i$, seed$^i$, branch$^i$, S$^i_{pulse}$)} is used to diffuse the pulse during this phase, where: \begin{itemize} \item \textsf{branch$^i$} is a list of hash maps associated to a path from the server to the current peer. \item \textsf{S$^i_{pulse}$} is \textsf{sign($\langle$i, seed$^i$, H$^i$$\rangle$, KS$_{priv}$)}. \end{itemize} \subsubsection*{Challenges} The protocol also provides the following request/reply logic to challenge the availability of a peer: \begin{itemize} \item{\sf Availability($i$, bits):} used by a peer to send his avaibility history up to round $i$. \textsf{bits} is a bit array where a $0$ (resp. 1) bit at index $j$ means that the peer was absent (resp. available) during round $j$. \item{\sf Challenge($i$):} used to ask a peer the proof of his presence during round $i$. \item{\sf Proof($i$, seed$^i$, branch$^i$, S$^i_p$, S$^i_{pulse}$):} to answer a challenge, where \textsf{S$^i_p$} is \textsf{sign($\langle$i, seed$^i$$\rangle$, K$^p_{priv}$)}. \end{itemize} \subsection{Phase 1: Seeding} \begin{lstlisting}[title=Server at round $i$] let phase$^i$ = SEEDING;
