Online Payments by Merely Broadcasting Messages

Rachid Guerraoui, Daniel Patrick Collins, Jovan Komatovic, Dragos-Adrian Seredinschi, Matej Pavlovic, Matteo Monti, Athanasios Xygkis, Andrei Tonkikh

We address the problem of online payments, where users can transfer funds among themselves. We introduce Astro, a system solving this problem efficiently in a decentralized, deterministic, and completely asynchronous manner. Astro builds on the insight tha ...

Scalable Byzantine Reliable Broadcast

Rachid Guerraoui, Dragos-Adrian Seredinschi, Matej Pavlovic, Matteo Monti

Byzantine reliable broadcast is a powerful primitive that allows a set of processes to agree on a message from a designated sender, even if some processes (including the sender) are Byzantine. Existing broadcast protocols for this setting scale poorly, as ...
