BFT Forensics Techniques

Definition

BFT Forensics Techniques involve methods for analyzing and reconstructing events within Byzantine Fault Tolerant systems following a failure or suspected attack. These techniques aim to identify the root cause of discrepancies, pinpoint faulty or malicious nodes, and understand the sequence of operations leading to an inconsistent state. The analysis often requires examining message logs, state snapshots, and protocol execution traces across multiple distributed participants. This process is essential for post-incident review and system hardening.
