Abstract

Consensus protocol is challenging due to the poor node reliability, low efficiency and decentralization. A comprehensive reputation based Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance consensus method (CRPBFT) has been proposed. Comprehensive reputation model has been developed to evaluate the credibility of each node from service behavior and consensus process at first. The nodes with higher reputation are selected to participate in the consensus process, which helps to reduce the probability of consensus failure caused by the existence of malicious nodes. A consensus communication structure is optimized by replacing the whole network broadcast structure in the commit phase with a star one. It can be applied to degrade the network communication overhead and improve consensus efficiency. A rotation mechanism for replacing the consensus nodes regularly has been proposed to increase the degree of decentralization and enhance the robustness and dynamic of the consensus network. Some experimental results demonstrate that the developed method has excellent performance by comparisons with some state-of-the-arts.
