Asynchronous Byzantine Agreement with Subquadratic CommunicationAsynchronous Byzantine Agreement • July 12th, 2020
Understanding the communication complexity of Byzantine agreement (BA) is a fundamental problem in distributed computing. In particular, as protocols are run with a large number of parties (as, e.g., in the context of blockchain protocols), it is important to understand the dependence of the communication on the number of parties n. Although adaptively secure BA protocols with o(n2) communication are known in the synchronous and partially synchronous settings, no such protocols are known in the fully asynchronous case.
