Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a novel Byzantine fault model called time-bounded Byzantine fault that imposes an upper bound on the number of malicious actions of a Byzantine faulty process. We also propose a new method for adaptive fault-containment against time-bounded Byzantine faults that guarantees that the number of perturbed processes depends on the number of malicious actions at Byzantine processes. The proposed information diffusion method imposes k consecutive state changes on a process so that the process diffuses information to processes at distance k. We present an example of a leader election protocol to show the adaptive containment of the proposed method.
