Lattice Aggregation in Distributed Verification under Crash and Byzantine Failures

This feed contains multiple systems-research papers with notable security implications. Key items: (1) STREAM: a three-tier inference router that uses a dual-channel HPC design (Globus Compute control plane + WebSocket relay data plane) with end-to-end AES-256-GCM to stream LLM tokens through institutional firewalls without VPNs — raises operational risks around key management, relay operator trust, metadata and traffic-pattern leakage, replay/DoS at the relay, and potential misconfiguration of cryptography or authentication. (2) Simple-IT: a practical, leader-based signature-free BFT protocol
