All byzantine agreement problems are expensive

P Civit, S Gilbert, R Guerraoui, J Komatovic… - Proceedings of the 43rd …, 2024 - dl.acm.org
Byzantine agreement, arguably the most fundamental problem in distributed computing,
operates among n processes, out of which t< n can exhibit arbitrary failures. The problem …

Efficient Signature-Free Validated Agreement

P Civit, MA Dzulfikar, S Gilbert… - 38th International …, 2024 - drops.dagstuhl.de
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 …

Juggernaut: Efficient Crypto-Agnostic Byzantine Agreement

D Collins, Y Efron, J Komatovic - arXiv preprint arXiv:2410.12121, 2024 - arxiv.org
It is well known that a trusted setup allows one to solve the Byzantine agreement problem in
the presence of $ t< n/2$ corruptions, bypassing the setup-free $ t< n/3$ barrier. Alas, the …

Toward Optimal-Complexity Hash-Based Asynchronous MVBA with Optimal Resilience

J Komatovic, J Neu, T Roughgarden - arXiv preprint arXiv:2410.12755, 2024 - arxiv.org
Multi-valued validated Byzantine agreement (MVBA), a fundamental primitive of distributed
computing, enables n processes to agree on a valid L-bit value, despite t faulty processes …

Error-Free Near-Optimal Validated Agreement

P Civit, MA Dzulfikar, S Gilbert, R Guerraoui… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Byzantine agreement enables n processes to agree on a common L-bit value, despite t> 0
arbitrary failures. A long line of work has been dedicated to improving the worst-case bit …
