An O(lg n) Expected Rounds Probabilistic Byzantine Generals Algorithm (The Bigger They Are, The Harder They Fall)

Other Titles

Abstract

Byzantine Generals algorithms enable processes to reliably broadcast messages in a system of n processes where up to t of the processes may be faulty. The algorithms are conducted in synchronous rounds of message exchange. For a system where n=(3+δ)t we prove the existence of a randomized algorithm whose expected number of rounds is O(lgn). This is an improvement on the lower bound of t+1 rounds required for deterministic algorithms and on the previous result of t/lgn expected number of rounds for randomized algorithms.
