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 ...
— We present the first protocol that reaches asynchronous Byzantine consensus in two communication steps in the common case. We prove that our protocol is optimal in terms of bo...
Model-checking of asynchronous distributed protocols is challenging because of the large size of the state and solution spaces. This paper tackles this problem in the context of l...
In this paper we present two protocols for asynchronous Byzantine Quorum Systems (BQS) built on top of reliable channels—one for self-verifying data and the other for any data. ...

We present Byzantine Disk Paxos, an asynchronous shared-memory consensus algorithm that uses a collection of n > 3t disks, t of which may fail by becoming non-responsive or arb...
