Planetary-Scale Byzantine Fault Tolerance

Matteo Monti

The scale and pervasiveness of the Internet make it a pillar of planetary communication, industry and economy, as well as a fundamental medium for public discourse and democratic engagement. In stark contrast with the Internet's decentralized infrastructur ...

Near-Optimal Communication Lower Bounds for Approximate Nash Equilibria

Mika Tapani Göös

We prove an N2-o(1) lower bound on the randomized communication complexity of finding an epsilon-approximate Nash equilibrium (for constant epsilon > 0) in a two-player N x N game. ...

Byzantine Consensus is Θ(n^2): The Dolev-Reischuk Bound is Tight even in Partial Synchrony!

Rachid Guerraoui, Jovan Komatovic, Pierre Philippe Civit, Manuel José Ribeiro Vidigueira, Vincent Gramoli, Seth Gilbert

The Dolev-Reischuk bound says that any deterministic Byzantine consensus protocol has (at least) quadratic communication complexity in the worst case. While it has been shown that the bound is tight in synchronous environments, it is still unknown whether ...

As easy as ABC: Optimal (A)ccountable (B)yzantine (C)onsensus is easy!

Rachid Guerraoui, Jovan Komatovic, Pierre Philippe Civit, Vincent Gramoli, Seth Gilbert

It is known that the agreement property of the Byzantine consensus problem among n processes can be violated in a non-synchronous system if the number of faulty processes exceeds t0 = ┌n/3┐ − 1 [10], [19]. In this paper, we investigate the accountable Byza ...

Communication Complexity of Collision

Mika Tapani Göös, Siddhartha Jain

The Collision problem is to decide whether a given list of numbers (x_1,…,x_n) ∈ [n]ⁿ is 1-to-1 or 2-to-1 when promised one of them is the case. We show an n^Ω(1) randomised communication lower bound for the natural two-party version of Collision where Ali ...

The Performance of Byzantine Fault Tolerant Blockchains

Vincent Gramoli

Blockchains have captured the attention of many, resulting in an abundance of new systems available for use. However, selecting an appropriate blockchain for an application is challenging due to the lack of comparative information discussing core metrics s ...

String Matching: Communication, Circuits, and Learning

Mika Tapani Göös

String matching is the problem of deciding whether a given n-bit string contains a given k-bit pattern. We study the complexity of this problem in three settings. - Communication complexity. For small k, we provide near-optimal upper and lower bounds on th ...

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 ...

Adventures in Monotone Complexity and TFNP

Mika Tapani Göös, Dmitrii Sokolov

Separations: We introduce a monotone variant of Xor-Sat and show it has exponential monotone circuit complexity. Since Xor-Sat is in NC^2, this improves qualitatively on the monotone vs. non-monotone separation of Tardos (1988). We also show that monotone ...

A Composition Theorem for Conical Juntas

Mika Tapani Göös

We describe a general method of proving degree lower bounds for conical juntas (nonnegative combinations of conjunctions) that compute recursively defined boolean functions. Such lower bounds are known to carry over to communication complexity. We give two ...
