N2 - Existing consumer devices represent the most pervasive computational platform available, but their inherently decentralized nature poses significant challenges for distributed computing adoption. In particular, device owners must willingly cooperate in collective deployments even while others may intentionally work to maliciously disrupt that cooperation. Public, cooperative systems benefit from low barriers to entry improving scalability and adoption, but simultaneously increase risk exposure to adversarial threats via promiscuous participant adoption. In this work, I aim to facilitate widespread adoption of cooperative systems by discussing the unique security and operational challenges of these systems, and highlighting several novel approaches that mitigate these disadvantages.
