Definition ∞ A Randomized Message Schedule is a method in distributed systems where the order in which messages are processed or transmitted is determined randomly. This technique can prevent certain types of adversarial attacks that rely on predictable message ordering. It introduces an element of unpredictability to network communication.
Context ∞ Randomized message schedules are sometimes explored in consensus research to enhance resistance against malicious actors. These actors might attempt to manipulate transaction order or network state, contributing to the fairness and security of decentralized protocols. This approach aims to mitigate front-running and other timing-based exploits.
