The Byzantine Agreement Protocol Applied to SecurityThesis • January 12th, 2005
This system makes use of solutions to the Byzantine General's Problem, developed earlier by Lamport and others. Byzantine Agreement Protocols will be used to achieve consensus about which nodes have been compromised or failed, with a series of synchronized, secure rounds of message exchanges. Once a consensus has been reached, the offending nodes can be isolated and countermeasure actions can be initiated by the system.
