Leader election Sample Clauses

Leader election. After the completion of the leader nomination phase as a result of the completion of n t parties’ proposal promotions, parties run a leader election protocol using a threshold coin primitive [8] to elect the leader of this view uniformly at random. At the end of the view, parties adopt the “progress” from the leader’s proposal promotion instance, and discard information from other instances. - View-change. Parties broadcast their updated state from the leader’s proposal promotion instance and/or output values and update their cross-view variables as appropriate. Since proposal promotion is similar to a HotStuff view, the guarantees provided by the leader nomination stage are the same as that of a HotStuff view. The leader election phase elects a unique leader at random ≥ – this stage guarantees (i) with 2/3 probability, a leader whose proposal promotion completed is elected, and (ii) an adaptive adversary cannot stall progress (since a leader is elected in hindsight). Finally, in the view-change phase, every party broadcasts the “quorum certificates” from the elected leader’s proposal promotion instance to all other parties. Since the protocol uses > 2n/3-sized quorums, if a party is locked (resp. committed) on a given value in a view, there are > 2n/3 parties who hold a key (resp. lock), out of which > n/3 are guaranteed to be honest parties. If a party waits for > 2n/3 view-change messages, due to a simple quorum intersection argument, it will receive a key (resp. lock) from at least one of the parties. This ensures no conflicting value can be proposed in subsequent views, thus ensuring safety. On the other hand, liveness is guaranteed when a party who has completed its proposal promotion instance is chosen as the leader. Since a leader is chosen after the leader nomination stage, a party who has completed proposal promotion is elected with probability > 2/3.

Leader election. This section describes the construction of a verifiable leader election, which is related to the idea of a weak common coin and proposal election. With constant probability all honest parties output an honest leader from VLE, but in other cases parties might disagree on the leader. In both cases, every party’s output must be an asynchronously validated leader according to an asynchronous va- lidity predicate validate. Every honest party starts the protocol believing that it is a valid leader, i.e. with validatei(i) = 1. Since the predicate is consistent, hon- est parties will eventually agree that other honest parties are also valid leaders. In addition, parties can verify each other’s output with a verification protocol, VLEVerify. In the constant probability event described above, in which a single honest leader is elected, this is the only leader that will pass verification in the VLEVerify protocol. Our construction uses techniques inspired by synchronous weak leader election [21] and cryptographic proposal election [3]. The protocol proceeds in 5 rounds described below:

Leader election. With these notations, we introduce the leader election algorithm which will be a subroutine of RBA. Let Mq denote the set of initial messages that the node q receives from all the nodes (including q itself). The node q verifies the VRF value yj, πj in Mq and sets Uq to be the set of nodes whose VRF values are valid. Then, q computes A = argmin y . the commit message, q enters Step 4, at which q waits for the forward conditions. ∈ ∪ {⊥}

  • Member Eligibility Verify Member eligibility contemporaneous with the rendering of services. BCBS will provide systems and/or methods for verification of eligibility and benefit coverage for Members. This is furnished as a service and not as a guarantee of payment;

  • Safe Harbor The recipient government will then compare the reporting year’s actual tax revenue to the baseline. If actual tax revenue is greater than the baseline, Treasury will deem the recipient government not to have any recognized net reduction for the reporting year, and therefore to be in a safe harbor and outside the ambit of the offset provision. This approach is consistent with the ARPA, which contemplates recoupment of Fiscal Recovery Funds only in the event that such funds are used to offset a reduction in net tax revenue. If net tax revenue has not been reduced, this provision does not apply. In the event that actual tax revenue is above the baseline, the organic revenue growth that has occurred, plus any other revenue-raising changes, by definition must have been enough to offset the in-year costs of the covered changes.
