This paper explores how reliable broadcast can be implemented without signatures when facing a dual adversary that can both corrupt processes and remove messages. More precisely, we consider an asynchronous $n$-process message-passing…

Byzantine agreement protocols in asynchronous networks have received renewed interest because they do not rely on network behavior to achieve termination. Conventional asynchronous Byzantine agreement protocols require every party to…

This paper investigates the problem \textit{good-case latency} of Byzantine agreement, broadcast and state machine replication in the synchronous authenticated setting. The good-case latency measure captures the time it takes to reach…

In this report, we investigate the multi-valued Byzantine consensus problem. We introduce two algorithms: the first one achieves traditional validity requirement for consensus, and the second one achieves a stronger "q-validity"…

In Byzantine collaborative learning, $n$ clients in a peer-to-peer network collectively learn a model without sharing their data by exchanging and aggregating stochastic gradient estimates. Byzantine clients can prevent others from…

Byzantine agreement (BA) enables all honest nodes in a decentralized network to reach consensus. In the era of emerging quantum technologies, classical cryptography-based BA protocols face inherent security vulnerabilities. By leveraging…

To improve the overall efficiency and reliability of Byzantine protocols in large sparse networks, we propose a new system assumption for developing multi-scale fault-tolerant systems, with which several kinds of multi-scale Byzantine…

The BG-simulation is a powerful reduction algorithm designed for asynchronous read/write crash-prone systems. It allows a set of $(t+1)$ asynchronous sequential processes to wait-free simulate (i.e., despite the crash of up to $t$ of them)…

This paper studies the design of Byzantine consensus algorithms in an \textit{asynchronous }single-hop network equipped with the "abstract MAC layer" [DISC09], which captures core properties of modern wireless MAC protocols. Newport…

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…

Optimum decision fusion in the presence of malicious nodes - often referred to as Byzantines - is hindered by the necessity of exactly knowing the statistical behavior of Byzantines. By focusing on a simple, yet widely studied, set-up in…

In recent years, Byzantine Agreement is being considered in increasing scales due to the proliferation of blockchains and other decentralized financial technologies. Consequently, a number of works have improved its communication complexity…

Byzantine Agreement introduced in [Pease, Shostak, Lamport, 80] is a widely used building block of reliable distributed protocols. It simulates broadcast despite the presence of faulty parties within the network, traditionally using only…

In the context of Byzantine consensus problems such as Byzantine broadcast (BB) and Byzantine agreement (BA), the good-case setting aims to study the minimal possible latency of a BB or BA protocol under certain favorable conditions, namely…

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…

The ability to perform repeated Byzantine agreement lies at the heart of important applications such as blockchain price oracles or replicated state machines. Any such protocol requires the following properties: (1) \textit{Byzantine…

In this work, we study the approximate consensus problem in asynchronous message-passing networks where some nodes may become Byzantine faulty. We answer an open problem raised by Tseng and Vaidya, 2012, proposing the first algorithm of…

We study the convergence problem in fully asynchronous, uni-dimensional robot networks that are prone to Byzantine (i.e. malicious) failures. In these settings, oblivious anonymous robots with arbitrary initial positions are required to…

The fast probabilistic consensus (FPC) is a voting consensus protocol that is robust and efficient in Byzantine infrastructure. We propose an adaption of the FPC to a setting where the voting power is proportional to the nodes reputations.…

Standard federated learning algorithms are vulnerable to adversarial nodes, a.k.a. Byzantine failures. To solve this issue, robust distributed learning algorithms have been developed, which typically replace parameter averaging by robust…
