Floor-IT: Information-Theoretic BFT in Partial Synchrony with Two Round Good Case Latency and Optimal Resilience

본문 미리보기

In the information-theoretic model, parties communicate over sender-authenticated point-to-point channels, but use no digital signatures or other transferable cryptographic certificates; the adversary is otherwise computationally unbounded. We present \name, an information-theoretic Byzantine agreement protocol for partial synchrony with a good-case latency of two rounds that achieves the optimal resilience bound of $n = 5f - 1$ in this setting. When the actual network delay after GST is at most
