Byzantine Recovery

Byzantine recovery refers to techniques used in distributed systems to ensure reliable operation despite some components acting maliciously or unpredictably—like sending false or inconsistent information. Imagine a team of sensors working together; if some send incorrect data, Byzantine recovery methods help identify and correct these mistakes, ensuring the entire system can still function correctly. It's a way to maintain trustworthiness and accuracy even when some parts behave arbitrarily or maliciously.
