Fast Probabilistic Consensus with Weighted Votes (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Müller, S., Penzkofer, A., Ku´smierz, B., Camargo, D., & Buchanan, W. J. (2020, November). Fast Probabilistic Consensus with Weighted Votes. Presented at FTC 2020 - Future Technologies Conference 2020, Vancouver, Canada

The fast probabilistic consensus (FPC) is a voting consensus protocol that is robust and efficient in Byzantine infrastructure. We propose an adaption of the FPC to a setting where the voting power is proportional to the nodes reputations. We model t... Read More about Fast Probabilistic Consensus with Weighted Votes.
