Abstract

An important requirement in synchronous protocols is that, even when a party receives all its messages for a given round ahead of time, it must wait until the round officially concludes before sending its messages for the next round. In practice, however, implementations often overlook this waiting requirement. This leads to a mismatch between the security analysis and real-world deployments, giving adversaries a new, unaccounted-for capability: the ability to “peek into the future.” Specif-ically, an adversary can force certain honest parties to advance to round r + 1, observe their round r + 1 messages, and then use this information to determine its remaining round r messages.
