Byzantine fault tolerance

In fault-tolerant computer systems, and in particular distributed computing systems, Byzantine fault toleranceis the characteristic of a system that tolerates the class of failures known as the Byzantine Generals' Problem, which is a generalized version of theTwo Generals' Problem - for which there is an unsolvability proof. The phrases interactive consistency or source congruency have been used to refer to Byzantine fault tolerance, particularly among the members of some early implementation teams.
