Abstract
Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for distributed consensus in an environment in which a fraction of Byzantine nodes is dynamically changed. The distributed consensus apparatus in a dynamic Byzantine fraction environment includes one or more processor and executable memory for storing at least one program executed by the one or more processors. The at least one program is configured to calculate a stochastic variable for the probability that a preset fraction of Byzantine nodes is changed using the probability that at least one of consensus candidate nodes corresponding to a preset consensus quorum is changed to a Byzantine node and to perform distributed consensus using the stochastic variable in the dynamic Byzantine fraction environment.
