Fault-Tolerant Distributed Consensus in Synchronous Networks

Fault-tolerant distributed consensus is a fundamental concept, both in cryptography as well as distributed computing. Ever since the inception of the problem by Lamport et al in 1982, the problem has been widely studied, both in cryptography as well as distributed computing community and several fundamental results have been obtained regarding the possibility, feasibility and optimality of the consensus prools in various network models and adversarial settings. The problem has generated rev...
