Crate aleph_bft

Implements the Aleph BFT Consensus protocol as a “finality gadget”. The Member struct requires access to a network layer, a cryptographic primitive, and a data provided that gives appropriate access to the set of available data that we need to make consensus on.

Modules

rmc	Reliable multicast functionality.

Structs

Config
DelayConfig
Indexed	A pair consistsing of signable data and a NodeIndex.
Member
Multisigned	Signable data together with a complete multisignature.
NetworkData	NetworkData is the opaque format for all data that a committee member needs to send to other nodes to perform the protocol.
NodeIndex	The index of a node
SignatureError	Error type returned when a verification of a signature fails.
Signed	A pair consisting of an object and a matching signature
UncheckedSigned	A pair consisting of an instance of the Signable trait and an (arbitrary) signature.

Enums

PartiallyMultisigned

Signable data together with a valid partial multisignature.

Traits

Data	Data type that we want to order.
DataIO
Hasher	A hasher, used for creating identifiers for blocks or units.
Index
KeyBox	Abstraction of the signing data and verifying signatures. Typically, consists of a private key of the node and the public keys of all nodes.
MultiKeychain	Extends KeyBox with multisigning functionalities. Allows to verify whether a partial multisignature is complete (and valid).
Network	Network represents an interface for sending and receiving NetworkData. We only assume that every send has a nonzero probability of succeeding, and a nonerror result might still correspond to an unsuccessful transfer.
PartialMultisignature	A type to which signatures can be aggregated.
Signable	Data which can be signed.
Signature	The type used as a signature. The Signature typically does not contain the index of the node who signed the data.
SpawnHandle

Functions

Type Definitions

OrderedBatch	Type for sending a new ordered batch of units
Round	A round.
