Byzantine Broadcast

Definition

Byzantine Broadcast is a method for reliable information dissemination within a distributed system where some participants may act maliciously. This protocol ensures all honest nodes agree on the same message, even when a portion of the network components behave unpredictably or attempt to corrupt data. It addresses the Byzantine Generals’ Problem, a fundamental challenge in achieving consensus in decentralized environments. The objective is to maintain data integrity and agreement despite potential failures.
