Today I am going to overview a new algorithmic foundation called ‘HotStuff the Linear, Optimal-Resilience, One-Message BFT Devil’ (in short, HotStuff), developed jointly with my colleagues Ittai Abraham and Guy Gueta, and harness it to explain the safety and liveness of Casper the Friendly Finality Gadget.| Professor Dahlia Malkhi
PBFT is a foundational multi-year project led by Barbara Liskov and her students, obtaining major advances in both the theory and practice of Byzantine Fault Tolerance. The PBFT conference version, journal version, Castro’s thesis, Liskov’s talk, and follow-up work on BASE are all required reading for anyone who wants to...| decentralizedthoughts.github.io
We explore a family of broadcast protocols in the authenticated setting in which a designated sender wants to create a delivery-certificate of its input value. After describing the base protocol we call Provable Broadcast ($PB$), we explore the surprising power of simply running $PB$ two times in a row, then...| decentralizedthoughts.github.io
Renewed interest in the Blockchain world on a long standing problem of asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) Consensus focuses on the following scaling challenges:| Professor Dahlia Malkhi
