Abstract: Byzantine Fault/Intrusion Tolerance has become a reference paradigm for dealing with faults and intrusions, achieving security (and dependability) in an automatic way, much along the lines of classical fault tolerance. However, there are issues specific to malicious faults (attacks and intrusions) that bring about some problems and limitations to the paradigm as a basis for designing resilient systems, some of which quite unexpected. We wish to discuss the limitations of some theoretical underpinnings of Byzantine Fault/Intrusion Tolerance in distributed systems, and report on some research results evaluating some of those limitations.
