Definition ∞ Randomized Communication is a strategy in distributed systems where nodes select their communication partners or the timing of their messages in a non-deterministic, often pseudo-random, manner. This approach can help prevent network congestion, mitigate targeted attacks, and improve the fairness of information dissemination. It introduces an element of unpredictability into the network’s communication patterns. This method enhances resilience against certain forms of network manipulation.
Context ∞ Randomized Communication techniques are relevant in news discussing the security and efficiency of peer-to-peer networks, including those supporting blockchain protocols. Such strategies are employed to improve network robustness and decentralization by making it harder for adversaries to predict or control information flow. Research often explores how to balance the benefits of randomization with the need for timely message propagation.
