Abstract

We consider the problem of implementing a wait-free regular register from storage components prone to Byzantine faults. We present a simple, efficient, and self-contained construction of such a register. Our construction utilizes a novel building block, called a 1-regular register, which can be efficiently implemented from Byzantine fault-prone components.
