Crystal: Enhancing Blockchain Mining Transparency with Quorum Certificate
Jianyu Niu, Fangyu Gai, Runchao Han +3
Researchers have discovered a series of theoretical attacks against Bitcoin's Nakamoto consensus; the most damaging ones are selfish mining, double-spending, and consistency delay…
Scaling Blockchain Consensus via a Robust Shared Mempool
Fangyu Gai, Jianyu Niu, Ivan Beschastnikh +2
There is a resurgence of interest in Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) systems due to blockchains. However, leader-based BFT consensus protocols used by permissioned blockchains have…
One Bad Apple Spoils the Bunch: Transaction DoS in MimbleWimble Blockchains
Seyed Ali Tabatabaee, Charlene Nicer, Ivan Beschastnikh +1
As adoption of blockchain-based systems grows, more attention is being given to privacy of these systems. Early systems like BitCoin provided few privacy features. As a result, sys…
LightSync: Ultra Light Client for PoW Blockchains
Niusha Moshrefi, Mahyar Daneshpajooh, Chen Feng
Full nodes in a blockchain network store and verify a copy of the whole blockchain. Unlike full nodes, light clients are low-capacity devices that want to validate certain data on…
Fast B4B: Fast BFT for Blockchains
Mohammad M. Jalalzai, Chen Feng, Victoria Lemieux
Low latency is one of the desired properties for partially synchronous Byzantine consensus protocols. Previous protocols have achieved consensus with just two communication steps e…
EBFT: Simplifying BFT Consensus Through Egalitarianism
Jianyu Niu, Runchao Han, Shengqi Liu +4
We present Egalitarian BFT (EBFT), a simple and high-performance framework of BFT consensus protocols for decentralized systems like blockchains. The key innovation in EBFT is egal…
