A distributed consensus algorithm allows n processes to reach a common decision value starting from individual inputs. Wait-free consensus, in which a process always terminates wi...
We present a novel translation of systems that are tolerant of crash failures to systems that are tolerant of Byzantine failures in an asynchronous environment, making weaker assum...
Abstract. It is now recognized that the Consensus problem is a fundamental problem when one has to design and implement reliable asynchronous distributed systems. This chapter is o...

We study consensus in a message-passing system where only some of the Ò¾ links exhibit some synchrony. This problem was previously studied for systems with process crashes; we n...
Consider an asynchronous system with private channels and n processes, up to t of which may be faulty. We settle a longstanding open question by providing a Byzantine agreement pr...
