Abstract

Previously, most Byzantine Agreement protocols can reach an agreement by the way of fault masking. Few of them can detect and locate the faulty components. On the other hand, the most fault diagnosis algorithms can detect and locate faulty component but few of them can make all fault free processors reach an agreement. This study analyzes the messages received at the period of reaching agreement, and then, to detect and to locate the faulty components of the network. Finally, the proposed protocol can further make all fault free processors agree on the common failure report of the synchronous fully connected network. The symptoms of the faults include the malicious fault and the dormant fault.
