Ticket #795, comment 13
initial v1 27 27 A reader downloads all the tagged-elephants from all the servers, checks all the signatures, takes the union of the results, and returns the resulting set of elephants. 28 28 29 Design " A" relies on ''at least one'' of the servers that you reach to save you from rollback or selection attacks. Such a server does this by knowing, and honestly serving up to you, a fresh and complete set of tagged-elephants. “Rollback” is serving you a version of the set that existed at some previous time, so the honest server giving you a copy of the most recent set protects you from rollback attack. “Selection” is omitting some elephants from the set, so the honest server giving you a complete copy of the set protects you from selection attack.29 Design "0" relies on ''at least one'' of the servers that you reach to save you from rollback or selection attacks.
