Due to the malicious attacks and software errors cause faulty nodes to exhibit arbitrary behavior, Byzantine Agreement (BA) is increasingly important. In this paper, a novel solution for BA problem is presented. We propose the use of an Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Back Propagation Network (BPN), to help reach a common value in a Fully Connected Network (FCN), and as a substitute for storing messages in each processor. There are several significant advantages: (1) Using ANN to store messages, the memory space required in previous approaches is no longer needed. (2) The characteristic of learning ability can help other new applications of BA reach an agreement. (3) The parallel processing can be achieved in each processor.
