Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) state-machine replication makes it possible to design systems
that are resilient against arbitrary faults, a requirement considered crucial for an increasing …

SBFT is a state of the art Byzantine fault tolerant state machine replication system that
addresses the challenges of scalability, decentralization and global geo-replication. SBFT is …

Byzantine Fault-Tolerant (BFT) protocols cover a broad spectrum of design dimensions from
infrastructure settings, such as the communication topology, to more technical features, such …

With the rising popularity of file-sharing services such as Google Drive and Dropbox in the
workflows of individuals and corporations alike, the protection of client-outsourced data from …

Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT) is a seminal state machine replication protocol
that achieves a performance comparable to non-replicated systems in realistic …

Byzantine fault-tolerant agreement (BFT) in a partially synchronous system usually requires
3f+ 1 nodes to tolerate f faulty replicas. Due to their high throughput and finality property …

Existing approaches to tolerate Byzantine faults in geo-replicated environments require
systems to execute complex agreement protocols over wide-area links and consequently …

Modern computer systems tend to rely on large trusted computing bases (TCBs) for
operations. To address the TCB bloating problem, hardware vendors have developed …

State-machine replication protocols represent the foundation of many fault-tolerant services.
Unfortunately, their inherent complexity makes existing implementations notoriously difficult …

Byzantine fault tolerance (BFT) protocols can mitigate attacks and errors and are
increasingly investigated as consensus protocols in blockchains. However, they are …
