商品描述

Fault-tolerant distributed consensus is a fundamental concept, both in cryptography as well as distributed computing. Ever since the inception of the problem by Lamport et al in 1982, the problem has been widely studied, both in cryptography as well as distributed computing community and several fundamental results have been obtained regarding the possibility, feasibility and optimality of the consensus protocols in various network models and adversarial settings. The problem has generated revived interest from several other communities over the last few years, after the advent of Blockchain protocols. Traditionally, the consensus protocols are studied either in the synchronous or in the asynchronous communication setting and very often the protocols in the former category serve as the basis for the protocols in the latter category. The focus of this book will be on the synchronous communication setting. The book presents all the seminal possibility and feasibility results in this model ever since the inception of the consensus problem, with formal security proofs. Even though the synchronous corruption model may seem weaker than the more practical asynchronous communication model, designing protocols in the synchronous model turns out to be non-trivial and demands sophisticated and highly advanced techniques. Moreover, understanding protocols in the synchronous setting often constitutes the first stepping stone to understanding the more complex asynchronous consensus protocols. The topic of synchronous consensus protocols in itself is a very vast and important topic to be covered in a single book.

容錯分散共識是密碼學和分散計算中的一個基本概念。自從1982年Lamport等人首次提出這個問題以來，該問題在密碼學和分散計算社群中得到了廣泛的研究，並且在各種網路模型和對抗環境中，關於共識協議的可能性、可行性和最優性已經獲得了幾個基本結果。隨著區塊鏈協議的出現，這個問題在過去幾年中引起了其他社群的重新關注。傳統上，共識協議要麼在同步通信環境中研究，要麼在異步通信環境中研究，而前者類別中的協議通常作為後者類別中協議的基礎。本書將專注於同步通信環境。本書呈現了自共識問題提出以來在此模型中所有重要的可能性和可行性結果，並附有正式的安全證明。儘管同步腐敗模型看起來可能比更實用的異步通信模型弱，但在同步模型中設計協議實際上並不簡單，並且需要複雜且高度先進的技術。此外，理解同步環境中的協議通常是理解更複雜的異步共識協議的第一步。同步共識協議本身是一個非常廣泛且重要的主題，無法在一本書中完全涵蓋。
