You should look in the white paper[0] to the definition of an FBAS which differs from epaxos (while epaxos is egalitarian, SCP is federated). All related proofs are included in the whitepaper, the central one being theorem 3 in 4.2. Finally the protocol specification (Figure 15, p28) is also very interesting.

- yshalabi 12y agoHi. I won't be able to read this for a while. I am not familiar with federated byzantine. Can you quickly comment on the difference between this and purely distributed consensus? How is fault tolerance maintained? Do we presume that top tiers are free of byzantine nodes? Thanks!
