2010 Lecture Notes in Computer Science  
This paper gives an introduction to state machine replication in groups subject to arbitrary or "Byzantine" faults. It explains the principles of such protocols and covers the following topics: broadcast primitives, distributed cryptosystems, randomized Byzantine agreement protocols, and atomic broadcast protocols.
