Distributed Consensus and Blockchain

  1. J. Chen, OciorCOOL: Faster Byzantine Agreement and Reliable Broadcast, September 2024, e-print, arXiv: 2409.06008. Faster Byzantine agreement and reliable broadcast protocols are proposed. The proposed OciorCOOL reduces one communication round of our original COOL protocol. Additionally, building on OciorCOOL, we design an optimal reliable broadcast protocol that requires only six communication rounds in the worst case and requires only five rounds in a good case (i.e., when all honest nodes input the same message).

  2. J. Chen, Fundamental limits of Byzantine agreement, September 2020, e-print, arXiv: 2009.10965, conference paper in DISC 2021 (see below). An open problem of multi-valued Byzantine agreement is solved using coding theory and graph theory.
