Critical real-time systems like spacecraft and aircraft commonly use Byzantine fault-tolerant
(BFT) state machine replication (SMR) to mask faulty processors and sensors. Unfortunately …

Real-time embedded systems perform many important functions in the modern world. A
standard way to tolerate faults in these systems is with Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) state …

Critical infrastructures have to withstand advanced and persistent threats, which can be
addressed using Byzantine fault tolerant state-machine replication (BFT-SMR). In practice …

Various protocols and architectures have been proposed to make Byzantine fault tolerance
(BFT) increasingly practical. However, the deployment of such systems requires dedicated …

Synchronous solutions for Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) can tolerate up to minority faults.
In this work, we present Sync HotStuff, a surprisingly simple and intuitive synchronous BFT …

Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT) is a seminal state machine replication protocol
that achieves a performance comparable to non-replicated systems in realistic …

The problem of replica coordination is fundamental to building Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT)
distributed systems. Seminal BFT architectures for safety-critical real-time systems from the …

Classic Byzantine fault tolerant (BFT) protocols are designed for a specific timing model,
most often one of the following: synchronous, asynchronous or partially synchronous. It is …

We propose uBFT, the first State Machine Replication (SMR) system to achieve microsecond-
scale latency in data centers, while using only 2 f+ 1 replicas to tolerate f Byzantine failures …

This paper presents the first critical analysis of building highly secure, performant, and
confidential Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) consensus by integrating off-the-shelf crash fault …
