- Title: Byzantine Failure Detection for Dynamic Distributed Systems
- Abstract: Byzantine failure detectors provide an elegant abstraction for implementing Byzantine fault tolerance. However, as far as we know, there is no general solution for this problem in a dynamic distributed system over wireless networks with unknown membership. This paper presents thus a first Byzantine failure detector for this context. The protocol has the interesting feature to be time-free, that is, it does not rely on timers to detect omission failures. This characteristic favors its scalability and help to deal with the dynamics and unpredictability of those networks.
- Abstract in french: Les détecteurs de défaillances Byzantines offrent une abstraction élégante pour implanter la tolérance aux fautes Byzantines. Cependant, à notre connaissance, il n'existe pas de solution générale pour ce problème dans un système réparti dynamique. Cet article présente un premier détecteur de défaillance Byzantin pour ce type d'environnement. Le protocole proposé est asynchrone dans le sens où les processus n'utilisent pas de temporisateur pour détecter les fautes. Cette caractéristique rend le protocole extensible et adaptable.
