description

MinBFT, MinZyzzyva, Spinning and EBAWA are four Byzantine fault-tolerant state machine replication algorithms implemented by Giuliana Santos Veronese in her PhD work, advised by myself and Lau Cheuk Lung. Alysson Bessani was also much involved in the project. This was was partially funded by the EC under project CRUTIAL - CRitical UTility InfrastructurAL Resilience.

EBAWA is the most important of the four: our BFT replication protocol for WANs. MinBFT, MinZyzzyva and EBAWA use a trusted component called USIG to solve Byzantine fault-tolerant state machine replication with only two replicas and one communication step less than other algorithms in the literature. Spinning is based on Castro and Liskov's PBFT, but rotates the primary whenever there is one agreement about a batch of messages.

 

dependencies

TPMJ - TPM/J is an object-oriented API using Java for low-level access to the TPM.
