Abstract

This paper presents the first probabilistic Byzantine Agreement algorithm whose communication and time complexities are poly-logarithmic. So far, the most effective probabilistic Byzantine Agreement algorithm had communication complexity Õ(√n) and time complexity Õ(1).

Our algorithm is based on a novel, unbalanced, almost-everywhere to everywhere Agreement protocol which is interesting in its own right
