Validity in Responsive Byzantine Agreement

본문 미리보기

Byzantine Agreement (BA) protocols must ensure not only agreement and termination, but also validity: the value agreed upon should meaningfully reflect the honest parties' inputs. The choice of validity condition can change the exact resilience threshold at which BA is solvable. Tight characterizations for BA with general validity conditions are known in the partially synchronous model (PODC'23), in the synchronous model (PODC'24), and in the network-agnostic model (DISC'25). We focus on genera
