Distributed control systems require high reliability and availability guarantees despite often being deployed at the edge of network infrastructure. Edge computing resources are less secure and less reliable than centralized resources in…

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…

We address the problem of reaching consensus in the presence of Byzantine faults. In particular, we are interested in investigating the impact of messages relay on the network connectivity for a correct iterative approximate Byzantine…

Since the mid-1980s it has been known that Byzantine Agreement can be solved with probability 1 asynchronously, even against an omniscient, computationally unbounded adversary that can adaptively \emph{corrupt} up to $f<n/3$ parties.…

We present an algorithm for synchronous deterministic Byzantine consensus, tolerant to links failures and links asynchrony. It cares for a class of networks with specific needs, where both safety and liveness are essential, and timely…

In Byzantine agreement with predictions each process begins with an input value and some (unreliable) prediction bits. Recently, it has been shown that with \emph{classification predictions} -- where the predictions predict each process to…

Byzantine agreement is a fundamental problem in fault-tolerant distributed computing that has been studied intensively for the last four decades. Much of the research has focused on a static Byzantine adversary, where the adversary is…

Byzantine Agreement is a key component in many distributed systems. While Dolev and Reischuk have proven a long time ago that quadratic communication complexity is necessary for worst-case runs, the question of what can be done in…

The problem of Byzantine consensus has been key to designing secure distributed systems. However, it is particularly difficult, mainly due to the presence of Byzantine processes that act arbitrarily and the unknown message delays in general…

Byzantine reliable broadcast is a fundamental primitive in distributed systems that allows a set of processes to agree on a message broadcast by a dedicated process, even when some of them are malicious (Byzantine). It guarantees that no…

The Byzantine consensus problem involves $n$ processes, out of which t < n could be faulty and behave arbitrarily. Three properties characterize consensus: (1) termination, requiring correct (non-faulty) processes to eventually reach a…

In stable matching, one must find a matching between two sets of agents, commonly men and women, or job applicants and job positions. Each agent has a preference ordering over who they want to be matched with. Moreover a matching is said to…
