Abstract

We revisit Gradecast (Feldman and Micali, STOC'88) in Synchrony and Reliable Broadcast (Bracha, Information and Computation'87) in Asynchrony. For both tasks ,we provide new protocols that have three desirable properties: (1) optimal resilience, tolerating t < n/3 malicious parties; (2) are communication-efficient, where honest parties send just O(nL) bits for a sender with a message of L = ω(n logn) bits; (3) and are unconditionally secure, without needing to rely on any computational or setup assumptions (while having a statistical error probability). To the best of our knowledge, no previous work obtains all three properties simultaneously.
