Bitcoin's Latency--Security Analysis Made Simple

Dongning Guo, Ling Ren

Simple closed-form upper and lower bounds are developed for the security of the Nakamoto consensus as a function of the confirmation depth, the honest and adversarial block mining…

Good-case and Bad-case Latency of Unauthenticated Byzantine Broadcast: A Complete Categorization

Ittai Abraham, Ling Ren, Zhuolun Xiang

This paper studies the {\em good-case latency} of {\em unauthenticated} Byzantine fault-tolerant broadcast, which measures the time it takes for all non-faulty parties to commit gi…

Brief Note: Fast Authenticated Byzantine Consensus

Ittai Abraham, Kartik Nayak, Ling Ren +1

Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) state machine replication (SMR) has been studied for over 30 years. Recently it has received more attention due to its application in permissioned bl…

Strengthened Fault Tolerance in Byzantine Fault Tolerant Replication

Zhuolun Xiang, Dahlia Malkhi, Kartik Nayak +1

Byzantine fault tolerant (BFT) state machine replication (SMR) is an important building block for constructing permissioned blockchain systems. In contrast to Nakamoto Consensus wh…

Close Latency--Security Trade-off for the Nakamoto Consensus

Jing Li, Ling Ren, Dongning Guo

Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer electronic cash system invented by Nakamoto in 2008. While it has attracted much research interest, its exact latency and security properties remain open.…
