Byzantine Generals Game

The Byzantine Generals Problem is a consensus challenge in distributed systems where multiple parties (generals) must agree on a single plan of action, such as attacking or retreating, despite some parties being unreliable or malicious (traitors). The key issue is ensuring all honest parties reach the same decision despite deceptive messages or failures. This problem highlights the difficulty of achieving reliable agreement in a network where trustworthiness isn't guaranteed, and it’s fundamental in designing secure systems like blockchain and Byzantine fault-tolerant algorithms.
