Distributed Consensus and Blockchains

Course information provided by the 2017-2018 Catalog.

Distributed consensus protocols have been widely adopted in replicated databases and decentralized cryptocurrencies. In this course, we will explore how to design formally secure protocols that allow nodes to reach consensus in a distributed system. Both classical consensus and modern blockchains will be discussed.


Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: undergraduate discrete math, CS 2800 or equivalent.
