About

BRB is a Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) system for achieving network agreement over eventually consistent data-type algorithms such as CRDTs.

For an overview how BRB works, please see these slides. (pdf | odp).

This crate and its related crates (brb_*) implement a loosely-coupled Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) system for achieving network agreement over eventually consistent data-type algorithms such as CRDTs.

BRB Crates

As of this writing, the crates are:

crate description
brb this crate. provides BRB implementation and BRBDataType trait that brb_dt_* crates implement
brb_membership BRB dynamic membership: support for peers joining and leaving a BRB group
brb_dt_at2 An implementation of the AT2 algorithm in a BRB DataType wrapper
brb_dt_orswot A BRB DataType wrapper for the Orswot CRDT algorithm in rust-crdt
brb_dt_tree A BRB DataType wrapper for the Tree CRDT algorithm in crdt_tree
brb_node_qp2p Interactive P2P node (CLI) for using BRB over Quic protocol via qp2p

Each brb_dt_* crate provides a particular data-type with its own operations that are wrapped in such a way that it can be transferred via BRB. At present AT2 and CRDT data types are well suited for this. We intend to wrap many such data types, with each wrapper in its own crate.

Traits

BRBDataType Data types to be secured should implement this

Prior Work

This crate and its sibling have been broken out of the original bft-crdts crate. Additional documentation and source code can be found there.
