Handling Node Expulsion and Replacement

Identifying Compromised Nodes

  • The network continuously monitors nodes for any signs of compromise or malicious behavior.

  • If a node is identified as a threat, it is marked for removal from its clusters.

Seamless Replacement

  • A replacement node is selected to take the place of the banned node.

  • The system redistributes key shares to maintain the security and functionality of the clusters without interruption.

Node Expulsion Process

Security Protocol

  1. Detection Phase

    • Continuous monitoring of node behavior

    • Automated threat detection systems

    • Regular security audits

    • Anomaly detection algorithms

  2. Expulsion Process

    • Immediate isolation of compromised node

    • Revocation of access credentials

    • Secure removal from cluster configuration

    • Notification to network administrators

  3. Replacement Workflow

    • Selection of qualified replacement node

    • Verification of new node integrity

    • Integration into existing cluster

    • Distribution of new key shares

  4. Recovery Steps

    • Validation of cluster stability

    • Security parameter updates

    • System integrity checks

    • Documentation of incident
