title = "Brief announcement: Practical synchronous byzantine consensus",
abstract = "This paper presents new protocols for Byzantine state machine replication and Byzantine agreement in the synchronous and authenticated setting. The PBFT state machine replication protocol tolerates f Byzantine faults in an asynchronous setting using n = 3f + 1 replicas. We improve the Byzantine fault tolerance to n = 2f +1 by utilizing the synchrony assumption. Our protocol also solves synchronous authenticated Byzantine agreement in fewer expected rounds than the best existing solution (Katz and Koo, 2006).",
