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 ...

Scaling Byzantine Fault Tolerance

Matej Pavlovic

Online services are becoming more and more ubiquitous and keep growing in scale. At the same time, they are required to be highly available, secure, energy-efficient, and to achieve high performance. To ensure these (and many other) properties, replication ...

The Hidden Vulnerability of Distributed Learning in Byzantium

Rachid Guerraoui, El Mahdi El Mhamdi, Sébastien Louis Alexandre Rouault

While machine learning is going through an era of celebrated success, concerns have been raised about the vulnerability of its backbone: stochastic gradient descent (SGD). Recent approaches have been proposed to ensure the robustness of distributed SGD aga ...

Byzantine Fireflies

Rachid Guerraoui, Alexandre David Olivier Maurer

This paper addresses the problem of synchronous beeping, as addressed by swarms of fireflies. We present Byzantine-resilient algorithms ensuring that the correct processes eventually beep synchronously despite a subset of nodes beeping asynchronously. We a ...

Beyond One Third Byzantine Failures

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Cheng Wang

The Byzantine agreement problem requires a set of

n

processes to agree on a value sent by a transmitter, despite a subset of

b

processes behaving in an arbitrary, i.e. Byzantine, manner and sending corrupted messages to all processes in the system. It ...

Byzantine Agreement with Homonyms

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Eric Ruppert

So far, the distributed computing community has either assumed that all the processes of a distributed system have distinct identifiers or, more rarely, that the processes are anonymous and have no identifiers. These are two extremes of the same general mo ...

Highly Dynamic Distributed Computing with Byzantine Failures

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Florian Huc

This paper shows for the first time that distributed computing can be both reliable and efficient in an environment that is both highly dynamic and hostile. More specifically, we show how to maintain clusters of size O(log N), each containing more than two ...

Abstractions for Solving Consensus and Related Problems with Byzantine Faults

Zarko Milosevic

We become increasingly dependent on online services; therefore, their availability and correct behavior become increasingly important. Software replication is a popular technique for ensuring that computer systems continue to provide a correct service even ...
