Abstract
The growing interest in reliable multi-party applications has fostered widespread adoption of Byzantine Fault-Tolerant (bft) consensus protocols. Existing bft protocols need f more replicas than Paxos-style protocols to prevent equivocation attacks. trust-bft protocols seek to minimize this cost by making use of trusted components at replicas.
