Flexible Byzantine Fault Tolerance

Paper: Flexible Byzantine Fault Tolerance. Dahlia Malkhi, Kartik Nayak, and Ling Ren. 2019

Notes

  • Assumes static adversaries
  • It uses a variant of the standard SMR definition.
  • It is an SMR protocol which allows clients to assume:
    • their own number of Byzantine faults + Alive But Corrupt faults (these are liveness faults)
    • bounded synchrony and their own value of \(\Delta\)
    • partial synchrony
