!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] ([BFT]) is the characteristic of a [Distributed Consensus] system that tolerates the class of failures known as the [Byzantine Generals Problem] Problem,[1] and the [Two Generals Problem]s.

[{$pagename}] is a property of [Blockchain] and many other [Distributed Ledger Technology] systems.

[{$pagename}] is often used in a weak sense, such as assuming that [attackers] will not participate in [collusion],

The underlying communication mechanism is:
* [synchronous|Synchronous Operation]: the generals have perfectly synchronized clocks and a message is guaranteed to be delivered in one time unit;
* [reliable|Reliable protocol]: [messages] can neither be forged nor corrupted nor lost; 
* [authenticated]: the identity of the sender is known to the receiver; and
* [point-to-point]: the underlying topology is that of a complete [graph].
