Random Oracles in Constantinople: Practical Asynchronous Byzantine Agreement usingByzantine Agreement Protocol • August 14th, 2000
Byzantine agreement requires a set of parties in a distributed system to agree on a value even if some parties are corrupted. A new protocol for Byzantine agreement in a completely asynchronous network is presented that makes use of cryptography, specifically of threshold signatures and coin-tossing protocols. These cryptographic protocols have practical and provably secure implementations in the “random oracle” model. In particular, a coin-tossing protocol based on the Diffie-Hellman problem is presented and analyzed.
