The Failure Type of a Fallible Sample Clauses

The Failure Type of a Fallible. Node During protocol execution, a node is said to be fault-free if it follows the protocol specifications; otherwise, the node said to be faulty. There are two failure categories; the dormant fault and the malicious fault (also called the Byzantine fault or the arbitrary fault) [10]. The dormant node faults include crashes and omission. A crash fault occurs when a node is broken. An omission fault takes place when a node fails to transmit or receive a message on time or at all. The malicious fault is the most damaging failure because the behavior of a malicious faulty node is unpredictable and arbitrary. In short, a malicious faulty node may work in coordination with other faulty nodes to prevent other fault-free nodes from reaching a common agreement value. Therefore, the malicious fault is the most damaging failure type and causes the worst problem. If the BA problem can be solved under malicious fault conditions, the BA problem can be solved under other failure conditions. Hence, in this study, the proposed protocol will solve the BA problem with malicious faulty nodes.
