Although distributed key generation (DKG) has been studied for some time, it has never been examined outside of the synchronous setting. We present the first realistic DKG archit...

Optimistically Terminating Consensus (OTC) is a variant of Consensus that decides if all correct processes propose the same value. It is surprisingly easy to implement: processes ...
Davies and Wakerly show that Byzantine fault tolerance can be achieved by a cascade of broadcasts and middle value select functions. We present an extension of the Davies and Waker...

This paper describes a Secure INtrusion-Tolerant Replication Architecture1 (SINTRA) for coordination in asynchronous networks subject to Byzantine faults. SINTRA supplies a number...
