Privacy-Preserving Methods for Outlier-Resistant Average Consensus and Shallow Ranked Vote Leader Election. (arXiv:2301.11882v1 [cs.CR])
cs.CR updates on arXiv.org arxiv.org
Consensus and leader election are fundamental problems in distributed
systems. Consensus is the problem in which all processes in a distributed
computation must agree on some value. Average consensus is a popular form of
consensus, where the agreed upon value is the average of the initial values of
all the processes. In a typical solution for consensus, each process learns the
value of others' to determine the final decision. However, this is undesirable
if processes want to keep their values …
