Contract Type FiledMay 26th, 2024Abstract. In this paper, we present two early stopping Byzantine agree- ment protocols in the authenticated setting against a corrupt minority t < n/2, where t represents the maximum number of malicious parties. Early stopping protocols ensure termination within a number of rounds determined solely by the actual number of malicious nodes f present during execution, irrespective of t.
