Excerpt
My editorial in February of this year mentions Helen of Troy while introducing the origin of the term “Trojan” that was featured in articles on security appearing in that issue. Troy was situated near the modern day Turkey and the story took place in the Bronze Age (13th or 12th century BC). Fast forward many centuries through time and we find ourselves in the Byzantine Empire. In 555 AD, Justinian the Great ruled over this enormous region. To defend the Empire he had distributed armies commanded by generals, some loyal and some not so loyal owing to their own personal ambitions. We don’t know how exactly Justinian managed his armies, but solutions for the so-called Byzantine Generals’ Problem can be found in a 1982 paper:…Leslie Lamport, Robert Shostak and Marshall Pease, “The Byzantine Generals Problem,” ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems, Vol. 4, No. 3, pp. 382–401, July 1982.
