Quantum Byzantine Agreement via Hardy correlations and entanglement
swapping
Abstract
We present a device-independent quantum scheme for the {\em Byzantine Generals} problem. The protocol is for three parties. Party is to send two identical one bit messages to parties and . The receivers and may exchange two one bit messages informing the other party on the message received from . A bit flipping error in one of the transmissions, does not allow the receiving parties to establish what was the message of . Our quantum scheme has the feature that if the messages of the Byzantine protocol are readable (that is give an unambiguous bit value for any of the receivers), then any error by (cheating by one of the commanding general) is impossible. and do not have to exchange protocol messages to be sure of this.
