Title:
Optimal Early Termination for Dishonest Majority Broadcast

Authors: Giovanni Deligios, Ivana Klasovita, Chen-Da Liu-Zhang

Abstract:

Deterministic broadcast protocols among n parties tolerating t corruptions require \min\{f+2, t+1\} rounds, where f \le t is the actual number of corruptions in an execution of the protocol. We provide the first protocol which is optimally resilient, adaptively secure, and asymptotically matches this lower bound for any t<(1-\varepsilon)n. By contrast, the best known algorithm in this regime by Loss and Nielsen (EUROCRYPT’24) always requires O(\min\{f^2, t\}) rounds. Our main technical tool is a generalization of the notion of polarizer introduced by Loss and Nielsen, which allows parties to obtain transferable cryptographic evidence of missing messages with fewer rounds of interaction.
