Secure and secret cooperation in robotic swarms by Castelló Ferrer, Eduardo, Hardjono, Thomas, Pentland, Alex 'Sandy', Dorigo, Marco

“…We propose a system where robots in a swarm, to cooperate towards mission completion, have to "prove" their integrity to their peers by exchanging cryptographic proofs. We show the implications of this approach for two different swarm robotics missions: foraging and maze formation. …”
