We propose uBFT, the first State-Machine Replication (SMR) system to achieve microsecond-scale latency in data centers, while using only $2f{+}1$ replicas to tolerate $f$ Byzantine failures. The Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) provided by…
This paper presents Flutter, the first Byzantine Total Order Broadcast implementation with a broadcast-to-delivery latency of $2\Delta + \epsilon$ time units, $\Delta$ being the message delay and $\epsilon$ an arbitrarily small constant…
With the rapid development of blockchain and its applications, the amount of data stored on decentralized storage networks (DSNs) has grown exponentially. DSNs bring together affordable storage resources from around the world to provide…
We present new protocols for Byzantine state machine replication and Byzantine agreement in the synchronous and authenticated setting. The celebrated PBFT state machine replication protocol tolerates $f$ Byzantine faults in an asynchronous…
We present concept and implementation of a self-stabilizing Byzantine fault-tolerant distributed clock generation scheme for multi-synchronous GALS architectures in critical applications. It combines a variant of a recently introduced…
We analyze the impact of transient and Byzantine faults on the construction of a maximal independent set in a general network. We adapt the self-stabilizing algorithm presented by Turau \cite{turau2007linear} for computing such a vertex…
We consider the problem of Byzantine fault-tolerance in the peer-to-peer (P2P) distributed gradient-descent method -- a prominent algorithm for distributed optimization in a P2P system. In this problem, the system comprises of multiple…
In this paper, we present the most extensive evaluation of blockchain system to date. To achieve scalability across servers in more than 10 countries located on 4 different continents, we drastically revisited Byzantine fault tolerant…
This paper presents LinSBFT, a Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) protocol with the capacity of processing over 2000 smart contract transactions per second in production. LinSBFT applies to a permissionless, public blockchain system, in which…
Since the inception of Bitcoin, the distributed systems community has shown interest in the design of efficient blockchain systems. However, initial blockchain applications (like Bitcoin) attain very low throughput, which has promoted the…
Blockchain technology has been proposed as a new infrastructure technology for a wide variety of novel applications. Blockchains provide an immutable record of transactions, making them useful when business actors do not trust each other.…
We propose a new protocol for the generalized consensus problem in asynchronous systems subject to Byzantine server failures. The protocol solves the consensus problem in a setting in which information about conflict between transactions is…
Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs), when managed by a few trusted validators, require most but not all of the machinery available in public DLTs. In this work, we explore one possible way to profit from this state of affairs. We devise…
This paper presents a novel leaderless protocol (FPC-BI: Fast Probabilistic Consensus within Byzantine Infrastructures) with a low communicational complexity and which allows a set of nodes to come to a consensus on a value of a single bit.…
Byzantine agreement enables n processes to agree on a common L-bit value, despite up to t > 0 arbitrary failures. A long line of work has been dedicated to improving the bit complexity of Byzantine agreement in synchrony. This has…
In this paper, we present an efficient deterministic algorithm for consensus in presence of Byzantine failures. Our algorithm achieves consensus on an $L$-bit value with communication complexity $O(nL + n^4 L^{0.5} + n^6)$ bits, in 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…
In this paper, we present Raptr--a Byzantine fault-tolerant state machine replication (BFT SMR) protocol that combines strong robustness with high throughput, while attaining near-optimal theoretical latency. Raptr delivers exceptionally…
Although many distributed storage protocols have been introduced, a solution that combines the strongest properties in terms of availability, consistency, fault-tolerance, storage complexity and the supported level of concurrency, has been…
Numerous distributed tasks have to be handled in a setting where a fraction of nodes behaves Byzantine, that is, deviates arbitrarily from the intended protocol. Resilient, deterministic protocols rely on the detection of majorities to…
