Byzantine Consensus is Θ(n2): The Dolev-Reischuk Bound is Tight even in Partial Synchrony!

Abstract: The Dolev-Reischuk bound says that any deterministic Byzantine consensus protocol has (at least) quadratic communication complexity in the worst case. While it has been shown that the bound is tight in synchronous environments, it is still unknown whether a consensus protocol with quadratic communication complexity can be obtained in partial synchrony. Until now, the most efficient known solutions for Byzantine consensus in partially synchronous settings had cubic communication complexity (e.g., HotStuff, bina… Show more

“…The many faces of validity. The literature contains many flavors of validity [4,23,24,28,36,45,59,73,74,78]. One of the most studied properties is Strong Validity [4,23,28,45], stipulating that, if all correct processes propose the same value, only that value can be decided.…”

One of the most studied properties is Strong Validity [4,23,28,45], stipulating that, if all correct processes propose the same value, only that value can be decided. Another common property is Weak Validity [23,24,78], affirming that, if all processes are correct and propose the same value, that value must be decided.…”
