This paper considers the good-case latency of Byzantine Reliable Broadcast (BRB), i.e., the time taken by correct processes to deliver a message when the initial sender is correct. This time plays a crucial role in the performance of…
In this paper we present an open source, fully asynchronous, leaderless algorithm for reaching consensus in the presence of Byzantine faults in an asynchronous network. We prove the algorithm's correctness provided that less than a third of…
This paper introduces a deterministic Byzantine consensus algorithm that relies on a new weak coordinator. As opposed to previous algorithms that cannot terminate in the presence of a faulty or slow coordinator, our algorithm can terminate…
We demonstrate that the Byzantine Agreement (detectable broadcast) is also solvable in the continuous-variable scenario with multipartite entangled Gaussian states and Gaussian operations (homodyne detection). Within this scheme we find…

Consider an asynchronous system where each node begins with some point in $\mathbb{R}^m$. Given some fixed $\epsilon > 0$, we wish to have every nonfaulty node eventually output a point in $\mathbb{R}^m$, where all outputs are within…
Consider a distributed system with $n$ processors out of which $f$ can be Byzantine faulty. In the approximate agreement task, each processor $i$ receives an input value $x_i$ and has to decide on an output value $y_i$ such that - the…
This work describes two randomized, asynchronous, round based, Binary Byzantine faulty tolerant consensus algorithms based on the algorithms of [25] and [26]. Like the algorithms of [25] and [26] they do not use signatures, use $O(n^2)$…
Byzantine reliable broadcast is a fundamental problem in distributed computing, which has been studied extensively over the past decades. State-of-the-art algorithms are predominantly based on the approach to share encoded fragments of the…

This paper describes a simple and efficient asynchronous Binary Byzantine faulty tolerant consensus algorithm. In the algorithm, non-faulty nodes perform an initial broadcast followed by a executing a series of rounds each consisting of a…
Reaching agreement in the presence of arbitrary faults is a fundamental problem in distributed computation, which has been shown to be unsolvable if one-third of the processes can fail, unless signed messages are used. In this paper, we…
Clock synchronization for nonfaulty processes in multiprocess networks is indispensable for a variety of technologies. A reliable system must be able to resynchronize the nonfaulty processes upon some components failing causing the…
This paper studies the Byzantine Agreement problem where the nodes have access to a predictor that flags nodes for suspicion of faulty (Byzantine) behavior. We focus on algorithmic resilience -- the maximum number of faulty nodes an…
This paper proposes the first implementation of a self-stabilizing regular register emulated by $n$ servers that is tolerant to both mobile Byzantine agents, and \emph{transient failures} in a round-free synchronous model. Differently from…

In this work we consider Byzantine Consensus on undirected communication graphs under the local broadcast model. In the classical point-to-point communication model the messages exchanged between two nodes $u, v$ on an edge $uv$ of $G$ are…
