Layer 2 systems have received increasing attention due to their potential to scale the throughput of L1 blockchains. To avoid the cost of putting data on chain, these systems increasingly turn to off-chain data availability solutions such…
How to achieve precise distributed optimization despite unknown attacks, especially the Byzantine attacks, is one of the critical challenges for multiagent systems. This paper addresses a distributed resilient optimization for linear…
We study the following generalization of the well-known model of broadcasting on trees. Consider an infinite directed acyclic graph (DAG) with a unique source node $X$. Let the collection of nodes at distance $k$ from $X$ be called the…
Network coding achieves optimal throughput in multicast networks. However, throughput optimality \emph{relies} on the network nodes or routers to code \emph{correctly}. A Byzantine node may introduce junk packets in the network (thus…
We propose a linear-time, single-pass, top-down algorithm for multiple testing on directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), where nodes represent hypotheses and edges specify a partial ordering in which hypotheses must be tested. The procedure is…
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…
PermitBFT establishes a permissioned byzantine ledger in the partially synchronous networking model. For n replicas, PermitBFT tolerates up to f < n/3 byzantine replicas. It is the first BFT protocol to achieve a latency of just 2 message…
We consider the problem of approximate consensus in mobile networks containing Byzantine nodes. We assume that each correct node can communicate only with its neighbors and has no knowledge of the global topology. As all nodes have moving…
This paper introduces Slipstream, a Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) protocol where nodes concurrently propose blocks to be added to a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) and aim to agree on block ordering. Slipstream offers two types of block…
Byzantine Agreement (BA) is one of the most fundamental problems in distributed computing, and its communication complexity is an important efficiency metric. It is well known that quadratic communication is necessary for BA in the worst…
The key methodologies of modern logic synthesis techniques are conducted on multi-level technology-independent representations such as And-Inverter-Graphs (AIGs) of the digital logic via directed-acyclic-graph (DAGs) traversal based…
Atomic registers are certainly the most basic objects of computing science. Their implementation on top of an n-process asynchronous message-passing system has received a lot of attention. It has been shown that t \textless{} n/2 (where t…
The paper presents three self-stabilizing protocols for basic fair and reliable link communication primitives. We assume a link-register communication model under read/write atomicity, where every process can read from but cannot write into…
The Reliable Broadcast concept allows an honest party to send a message to all other parties and to make sure that all honest parties receive this message. In addition, it allows an honest party that received a message to know that all…
This article presents a signature-free distributed algorithm which builds an atomic read/write shared memory on top of an $n$-process asynchronous message-passing system in which up to $t<n/3$ processes may commit Byzantine failures. From a…
In this paper, we challenge the conventional approach of state machine replication systems to design deterministic agreement protocols in the eventually synchronous communication model. We first prove that no such protocol can guarantee…
Recently, Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) based Distributed Ledgers have been proposed for various applications in the smart mobility domain [1]. While many application studies have been described in the literature, an open problem in the DLT…
Approximate Agreement ($\mathcal{AA}$) is a fundamental primitive that, even in the presence of Byzantine faults, allows honest parties to obtain close (but not necessarily identical) outputs that lie within the range of their inputs. While…
Several prominent DAG-based blockchain protocols, such as DAG-Rider, Tusk, and Bullshark, completely separate between equivocation elimination and committing; equivocation is handled through the use of a reliable Byzantine broadcast…
We consider an asynchronous network of $n$ message-sending parties, up to $t$ of which are byzantine. We study approximate agreement, where the parties obtain approximately equal outputs in the convex hull of their inputs. In their seminal…
