RandSolomon: Optimally Resilient Random Number Generator with Deterministic Termination

Authors: Luciano Freitas de Souza, Andrei Tonkikh, Sara Tucci-Piergiovanni, Renaud Sirdey, Oana Stan, Nicolas Quero, and Petr Kuznetsov

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 217, 25th International Conference on Principles of Distributed Systems (OPODIS 2021)


Abstract
Multi-party random number generation is a key building-block in many practical protocols. While straightforward to solve when all parties are trusted to behave correctly, the problem becomes much more difficult in the presence of faults. This paper presents RandSolomon, a partially synchronous protocol that allows a system of N processes to produce an unpredictable common random number shared by correct participants. The protocol is optimally resilient, as it allows up to f = ⌊(N-1)/3⌋ of the processes to behave arbitrarily, ensures deterministic termination and, contrary to prior solutions, does not, at any point, expect faulty processes to be responsive.

Accountability and Reconfiguration: Self-Healing Lattice Agreement

Authors: Luciano Freitas de Souza, Petr Kuznetsov, Thibault Rieutord, and Sara Tucci-Piergiovanni

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 217, 25th International Conference on Principles of Distributed Systems (OPODIS 2021)


Abstract
An accountable distributed system provides means to detect deviations of system components from their expected behavior. It is natural to complement fault detection with a reconfiguration mechanism, so that the system could heal itself, by replacing malfunctioning parts with new ones. In this paper, we describe a framework that can be used to implement a large class of accountable and reconfigurable replicated services. We build atop the fundamental lattice agreement abstraction lying at the core of storage systems and cryptocurrencies. Our asynchronous implementation of accountable lattice agreement ensures that every violation of consistency is followed by an undeniable evidence of misbehavior of a faulty replica. The system can then be seamlessly reconfigured by evicting faulty replicas, adding new ones and merging inconsistent states. We believe that this paper opens a direction towards asynchronous "self-healing" systems that combine accountability and reconfiguration.
