Welcome to the resource topic for 2013/553

Title:
Multi-Valued Byzantine Broadcast: the t < n Case

Authors: Martin Hirt, Pavel Raykov

Abstract:

All known protocols implementing broadcast from synchronous point-to-point channels tolerating any t < n Byzantine corruptions have communication complexity at least \Omega(\ell n^2). We give cryptographically secure and information-theoretically secure protocols for t < n that communicate O(\ell n) bits in order to broadcast sufficiently long \ell bit messages. This matches the optimal communication complexity bound for any protocol allowing to broadcast \ell bit messages. While broadcast protocols with the optimal communication complexity exist in cases where t < n/3 (by Liang and Vaidya in PODC '11) or t < n/2 (by Fitzi and Hirt in PODC '06), this paper is the first to present such protocols for t < n.
