Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsFault-tolerant Distributed Systems with Diagnostics AlgorithmsOleg Viktorov, Afif MghawishTo provide consistent actions in distributed systems with faulty nodes the Byzantine agreement protocol (algorithm) is widely used. In case of using message exchange scheme without authentication the Byzantine agreement algorithm leads to agreement if the number of nodes doesn’t exceed 1/3 of the total number. The proposed algorithms based on diagnostics procedures are used to reach an agreement in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 19 Oct 2005 · 4,840 accessesView PDFCite
