Byzantine Fault Tolerance in the Age of Blockchains and Cloud Computing
Page 5
Abstract
BFT is a generic technique used for ordering transactions on a distributed system even if a fraction of the processes are controlled by a malicious adversary. BFT is widely known as the model for permissioned blockchains, and is increasingly used in various permissionless blockchains. BFT has also been used in various cloud computing scenarios, such as blockchain-as-a-service, the multi-cloud scenario, and their fault-tolerant components.
It is widely believed that there is no one-size-fits-all BFT protocol. We review and discuss some recent results on BFT protocols, covering both partially synchronous BFT protocols and completely asynchronous BFT protocols, and covering their building blocks (e.g., reliable broadcast, Byzantine agreement).

Multi-Threshold Byzantine Fault Tolerance
CCS '21: Proceedings of the 2021 ACM SIGSAC Conference on Computer and Communications SecurityClassic Byzantine fault tolerant (BFT) protocols are designed for a specific timing model, most often one of the following: synchronous, asynchronous or partially synchronous. It is well known that the timing model and fault tolerance threshold present ...
Optimistic Byzantine fault tolerance
The primary concern of traditional Byzantine fault tolerance is to ensure strong replica consistency by executing incoming requests sequentially according to a total order. Speculative execution at both clients and server replicas has been proposed as a ...
Independent faults in the cloud
LADIS '10: Proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Large Scale Distributed Systems and MiddlewareByzantine fault tolerant (BFT) protocols are replication-based solutions to the problem of tolerating the arbitrary failures of software and hardware components. The essential assumption for replication is independence of failures. In this paper, we ...
