There have been several reductions from multivalued consensus to binary consensus over the past 20 years. To the best of our knowledge, none of them solved it for Byzantine asynchronous settings. In this paper, we close this gap. Moreover,…

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 considers the Byzantine consensus problem for nodes with binary inputs. The nodes are interconnected by a network represented as an undirected graph, and the system is assumed to be synchronous. Under the classical point-to-point…

We study the gathering problem to make multiple agents initially scattered in arbitrary networks gather at a single node. There exist $k$ agents with unique identifiers (IDs) in the network, and $f$ of them are weakly Byzantine agents,…

The cooperative bandit problem is increasingly becoming relevant due to its applications in large-scale decision-making. However, most research for this problem focuses exclusively on the setting with perfect communication, whereas in most…

Byzantine Reliable Broadcast (BRB) is a fundamental primitive in distributed computing and cryptographic systems. Reducing the communication complexity of BRB protocols remains an important research direction. However, most work focuses on…

Both Byzantine resilience and communication efficiency have attracted tremendous attention recently for their significance in edge federated learning. However, most existing algorithms may fail when dealing with real-world irregular data…

In the Byzantine agreement problem, n nodes with possibly different input values aim to reach agreement on a common value in the presence of t < n/3 Byzantine nodes which represent arbitrary failures in the system. This paper introduces a…

Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) consensus algorithms are at the core of providing safety and liveness guarantees for distributed systems that must operate in the presence of arbitrary failures. Recently, numerous new BFT algorithms have been…

This paper explores the problem of reaching approximate consensus in synchronous point-to-point networks, where each pair of nodes is able to communicate with each other directly and reliably. We consider the mobile Byzantine fault model…

The strong Byzantine agreement (SBA) problem is defined among n processes, out of which t < n can be faulty and behave arbitrarily. SBA allows correct (non-faulty) processes to agree on a common value. Moreover, if all correct processes…

We consider the problem of maximizing the throughput of Byzantine consensus, when communication links have finite capacity. Byzantine consensus is a classical problem in distributed computing. In existing literature, the communication links…

We suggest that the Quantum Honest Byzantine Agreement (QHBA) protocol [1] essentially reduces consensus to coincidence. The volume of coincidence is the parameter that drives a receiver to echo its input. A lack of coincidence results in…

The majority of the literature on consensus assumes that protocols are jointly started at all nodes of the distributed system. We show how to remove this problematic assumption in semi-synchronous systems, where messages delays and relative…

Iterative Approximate Byzantine Consensus (IABC) is a fundamental problem of fault-tolerant distributed computing where machines seek to achieve approximate consensus to arbitrary exactness in the presence of Byzantine failures. We present…

In this paper, we present a Byzantine fault tolerant distributed commit protocol for transactions running over untrusted networks. The traditional two-phase commit protocol is enhanced by replicating the coordinator and by running a…

We consider an asynchronous network of $n$ parties connected to each other via secure channels, up to $t$ of which are byzantine. We study common coin tossing, a task where the parties try to agree on an unpredictable random value, with…

Approximate byzantine consensus is a fundamental problem of distributed computing. This paper presents a novel algorithm for approximate byzantine consensus, called Relay-ABC. The algorithm allows machines to achieve approximate consensus…

Lower bounds and impossibility results in distributed computing are both intellectually challenging and practically important. Hundreds if not thousands of proofs appear in the literature, but surprisingly, the vast majority of them apply…

Population protocols model information spreading and computation in network systems where pairwise node exchanges are determined by an external random scheduler and nodes have small memory. Most of the population protocols in the literature…
