In a previous post, we show that State Machine Replication for any $f<n$ failures is possible in the synchronous model when the adversary can only cause parties to crash. In this post, we show that omission failures are more challenging. Implementing SMR requires at most $f<n/2$ omission failures, even in...| decentralizedthoughts.github.io

Without public key cryptography there would be no cryptocurrencies, no online bank accounts, no online retail, etc. In the PKC paradigm with clients and servers, clients authenticate to servers...| decentralizedthoughts.github.io
