共识协议表决的公平性研究

On Fairness in Voting Consensus Protocols

Sebastian Müller, Andreas Penzkofer, Darcy Camargo, Olivia Saa

摘要:

投票算法作为共识协议在容错系统的实现中得到了广泛的应用。这些算法最适合于具有低计算能力的节点的分布式系统或异构网络,其中不同的节点可能具有不同的声誉或权重级别。我们的主要贡献是建设一个公平的投票协议的意义上说,一个给定的参与者的最终结果的影响是线性的重量。具体地说,公平性保证了任何节点即使在资源或权重较低的情况下也可以积极参与共识发现。我们调查加权投票可能产生的影响,如匿名性,集中化,可扩展性的损失,并讨论其相关的协议设计和实现。

英文摘要:

Voting algorithms have been widely used as consensus protocols in the realization of fault-tolerant systems. These algorithms are best suited for distributed systems of nodes with low computational power or heterogeneous networks, where different nodes may have different levels of reputation or weight. Our main contribution is the construction of a fair voting protocol in the sense that the influence of the eventual outcome of a given participant is linear in its weight. Specifically, the fairness property guarantees that any node can actively participate in the consensus finding even with low resources or weight. We investigate effects that may arise from weighted voting, such as loss of anonymity, centralization, scalability, and discuss their relevance to protocol design and implementation.
