The Byzantine arrangement includes a n process system, some of which may be defective. The problem is that the appropriate processes agree on a binary value issued by an issuer that may itself be one of the processes. If the issuer sends the same value to each process, then all correct processes must agree on that value, but in any case, they must agree on a certain value. An explicit solution without authentication is given for no 3t – 1-process with 2t – 3 rounds and bits of O messages (t3 log t). This solution can be easily extended to the general case of n ⩾ 3t -1 to give a solution with 2t – 3 rounds and O (nt t3 log t) bits of message. In this article, we examine the possible margin of error for Byzantine agreements by assuming different types of key allocation. In the past, Memorandums of Understanding have been developed either for no authentication or for full compliance with public keys. Since this prior agreement depends on out-of-system techniques (for example. B trusted servers that never fail), it is useful to consider lower levels of key allocation that require as few additional assumptions as possible. We show that the assumptions required by the authentication mechanism in Byzantine contractual protocols, which use « signed messages, » are stronger than those generally realized and require more than mere digital signatures. Protocols can fail if these assumptions are violated. We then present new protocols for the Byzantine arrangement to add authentication to « oral measurement » protocols, so that the additional resistance is achieved with authentication, but without assumptions about the security of the necessary authentication if the number and type of errors are present in the resilience of the non-authenticated protocol. Our analysis is based on a « hybrid » error model that allows for obvious (z.B.
crash) and symmetrical errors, as well as arbitrary (i.e. Byzantine) errors. We are also expanding the classic signed news journal to this error model and showing that its margin of error is complemented by one of our new protocols. We will then examine the behavior of these different protocols under the combinatio… It turned out that authentication of messages is useful for getting a Byzantine arrangement with any number of arbitrarily defective nodes. Unfortunately, this approach is the additional problem of key allocation. The distribution of keys can be seen as a pre-agreement on the public keys of the participants.
