Partial Synchrony for Free: New Upper Bounds for Byzantine Agreement

Rachid Guerraoui, Jovan Komatovic, Manuel José Ribeiro Vidigueira, Pierre Philippe Civit

Byzantine agreement allows n processes to decide on a common value, in spite of arbitrary failures. The seminal Dolev-Reischuk bound states that any deterministic solution to Byzantine agreement exchanges Ω(n2) bits. In synchronous networks, with a known u ...

zkSNARKs in the ROM with Unconditional UC-Security

Alessandro Chiesa, Giacomo Fenzi

The universal composability (UC) framework is a “gold standard” for security in cryptography. UC-secure protocols achieve strong security guarantees against powerful adaptive adversaries, and retain these guarantees when used as part of larger protocols. Z ...
