Asynchronous Byzantine Agreement with Subquadratic CommunicationAsynchronous Byzantine Agreement • October 6th, 2020
Understanding the communication complexity of Byzantine agreement (BA) is a fundamental problem in distributed computing. In particular, for protocols involving a large number of parties (as in, e.g., the context of blockchain protocols), it is impor- tant 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.
