Improved Byzantine Agreement under an Adaptive Adversary
Byzantine agreement is a fundamental problem in fault-tolerant distributed computing that has been studied intensively for the last four decades. Much of the research has focused on a static Byzantine adversary, where the adversary is constrained to choose the Byzantine nodes in advance of the protocol's execution. This work focuses on the harder case of an adaptive Byzantine adversary that can choose the Byzantine nodes \emph{adaptively} based on the protocol's execution. While efficient $O(\l…
