Abstract

We consider the problem of communicating reliably in a dynamic network in the presence of up to k Byzantine failures. It was shown that this problem can be solved if and only if the dynamic graph satisfies a certain condition, that we call "RDC condition". In this paper, we present the first self-stabilizing algorithm for reliable communication in this setting - that is: in addition to permanent Byzantine failures, there can also be an arbitrary number of transient failures. We prove the correctness of this algorithm, provided that the RDC condition is "always eventually satisfied".
