What is PBFT consensus mechanism?

The primary objective of the practical BFT was to resolve the discrepancies evident in the original BFT consensus mechanism. The pBFT consensus mechanism wants to ensure a practical Byzantine state machine replication for tolerating Byzantine nodes or failures.

Is PBFT the same as BFT?

I understood that BFT (Byzantine Fault Tolerance) is a property of some algorithms and pBFT is an algorithm itself. Is that right? Yes.

What is BFT asynchronous fault tolerance?

Barbara Liskov and Miguel Castro introduced the BFT algorithm in the late 90s. It was tailored for working efficiently as asynchronous byzantine fault tolerance without any upper limit on the time of receiving a response to a concerned request. The practical BFT application has been developed for addressing notable issues in the existing BFT model.

What are the application areas of BFT?

Application areas include distributed computing and blockchain. What is Byzantine Fault Tolerance? Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) is the feature of a distributed network to reach consensus (agreement on the same value) even when some of the nodes in the network fail to respond or respond with incorrect information.
