Minimal Byzantine Fault Tolerance: Algorithm and Evaluation

This paper presents two asynchronous Byzantine faulttolerant state machine replication (BFT) algorithms that are minimal in several senses. First, they require only 2 f +1 replicas, instead of the usual 3 f +1. Second, the trusted service in which this reduction of replicas is based is arguably mini...
