Byzantine fault tolerance

English Etymology From an essay by American computer scientist Robert Shostak, who simplified the computing problem in a hypothetical siege by the Byzantine Empire. In the siege, a group of Byzantine generals, without central command and physically separated, need to vote to determine whether all troops should besiege the fortress or withdraw. Faults are personified as traitors who could vote selectively and messengers who could fail to deliver votes or forge them.

BFT is a crucial part of an effective blockchain platform, and there are multiple ways in which tolerance can be implemented.
