Welcome to the resource topic for 2002/085

Title:
Efficient and Player-Optimal Strong Consensus

Authors: Matthias Fitzi, Juan A. Garay

Abstract:

In the {\em strong consensus} problem,
n players attempt to reach agreement on a value initially held
by {\em one of the good players}, despite the (malicious) behavior
of up to t of them. Although the problem is closely related to the
standard consensus problem (aka Byzantine agreement),
the only known solution with the optimal number of players requires exponential
computation and communication in the unconditional setting.

In this paper we study this problem, and present {\em efficient} protocols
and tight lower bounds for several standard distributed computation models
— unconditional, computational, synchronous, and asynchronous.
