Did you ever wonder what is the BFT consensus engine that drives Dfinity, is it new or known, and how can it be improved?
We explored the DFINITY Technology Overview Series on the Consensus System, and report our insights in a recent note on the Cryptology ePrint Archive .
BFT consensus that achieves optimal worst-case communication complexity (quadratic) with constant expected latency
Revisitng HotStuff, it turns out that two phases are enough after all.
An evolution of “Pacemaker” solutions to the Byzantine View Synchronization problem finally led to optimal communication-complexity solutions.
Byzantine Generals with Unknown/Fluctuating Participation extended to tolerate to Minority Corruption.
