title = "Towards a Secure Cross-Blockchain Smart Contract Architecture",
abstract = "With the speed rise of heterogeneous Blockchain (BC) platforms, interoperability became a critical area of research barrer for a variety of use cases, ranging from supply chain to healthcare. Consequently, a number of BC interoperability solutions were proposed to overcome these issues. One of these is Bifr{\"o}st, a notary-based BC interoperability Application Programming Interface (API) which enables users or existing applications to interact seamlessly with multiple BCs. An early prototype of Bifr{\"o}st was built, which proved its feasibility, nonetheless, it failed to allow interactions with Smart Contracts (SCs) across BCs. In this context, we present in this paper an extension of Bifr{\"o}st architecture enabling secure cross-BC SCs using the Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). The proposed architecture is also fault tolerant by means of a logging module that facilitates the recovery of partially completed transactions in case of a crash.",
