| Sumario: | The authors discuss potential problems with the reliability of computations performed by remote computers and consider different methods of verification that do not entail replicating the results. The authors describe a framework for addressing the problem in theory, then examine solutions posited by various researchers in published papers. They conclude with a discussion of performance that covers the verifying party's variable costs, the size and amortization of the verifier's setup costs, and overhead costs.
