Mariages et Trahisons

A self-stabilizing protocol tolerates by definition transient faults (faults of finite duration). Recently, a new class of self-stabilizing protocols that are able to tolerate a given number of permanent faults. In this paper, we focus on self-stabilizing protocols able to tolerate Byzantine faults, that is faults that introduce an arbitrary behaviour. We focus on strict-stabilization in which the system have to contain the effects of Byzantine faults. Specificaly, we study the possibility to construct in a self-stabilizing way a maximal matching in a network where an arbitrary number of process may become Byzantine.

The Byzantine Brides Problem

We investigate the hardness of establishing as many stable marriages (that is, marriages that last forever) in a population whose memory is placed in some arbitrary state with respect to the considered problem, and where traitors try to jeopardize the whole process by behaving in a harmful manner. On the negative side, we demonstrate that no solution that is completely insensitive to traitors can exist, and we propose a protocol for the problem that is optimal with respect to the traitor containment radius.
