Title:
Signature-Free Atomic Broadcast with Optimal O(n^2) Messages and O(1) Expected Time

Authors: Xiao Sui, Sisi Duan

Abstract:

Byzantine atomic broadcast (ABC) is at the heart of permissioned blockchains and various multi-party computation protocols. We resolve a long-standing open problem in ABC, presenting the first information-theoretic (IT) and signature-free asynchronous ABC protocol that achieves optimal O(n^2) messages and O(1) expected time. Our ABC protocol adopts a new design, relying on a reduction from—perhaps surprisingly—a somewhat neglected primitive called multivalued Byzantine agreement (MBA).
