Byzantine Generals and Transaction Commit Protocols
The transaction commit problem in a distributed database system is an instance of the Weak Byzantine Generals problem. It is shown that even under the assumption that a process can fail only by “crashing”—failing to send any more messages—a solution to this problem that can tolerate k failures must, in the worst case, require at least k + 1 message-passing delays. Under this same assumption, a ...
متن کاملAuthenticated Byzantine Generals in Dual Failure Model
Pease et al. introduced the problem of Byzantine Generals (BGP) to study the effects of Byzantine faults in distributed protocols for reliable broadcast. It is well known that BGP among n players tolerating up to t faults is (efficiently) possible if and only if n > 3t. To overcome this severe limitation, Pease et al. introduced a variant of BGP, Authenticated Byzantine General (ABG). Here play...
متن کاملOn Byzantine generals with alternative plans
This paper proposes a variation of the Byzantine generals problem (or Byzantine consensus). Each general has a set of good plans and a set of bad plans. The problem is to make all loyal generals agree on a good plan proposed by a loyal general, and never on a bad plan.
متن کاملQuantum probability updating from zero priors (by-passing Cromwells rule)
Cromwell’s rule (also known as the zero priors paradox) refers to the constraint of classical probability theory that if one assigns a prior probability of 0 or 1 to a hypothesis, then the posterior has to be 0 or 1 as well (this is a straightforward implication of how Bayes’ rule works). Relatedly, hypotheses with a very low prior cannot be updated to have a very high posterior without a treme...
متن کاملA New Look at Composition of Authenticated Byzantine Generals
The problem of Authenticated Byzantine Generals (ABG) aims to simulate a virtual reliable broadcast channel from the General to all the players via a protocol over a real (point-to-point) network in the presence of faults. We propose a new model to study the self-composition of ABG protocols. The central dogma of our approach can be phrased as follows: Consider a player who diligently executes ...
