 **Byzantine Generals Problem** is when a reliable computer system must be able to cope with the failure of one or more of its components (i.e., [[dido:​public:​ra:​xapend:​xapend.a_glossary:​b:​byzantine_fault]].) A failed component may exhibit a type of behavior that is often overlooked -- namely, sending conflicting information to different parts of the system. The problem of coping with this type of failure is expressed abstractly as the Byzantine Generals Problem.
