Mechanical verification of a schematic protocol for Byzantine fault-tolerant clock synchronization:

Abstract: "Schneider [8] generalizes a number of protocols for Byzantine fault tolerant clock synchronization and presents a uniform proof for their correctness. We present a machine checked proof of this schematic protocol that revises some of the details in Schneider's original analysis....

Summary:Abstract: "Schneider [8] generalizes a number of protocols for Byzantine fault tolerant clock synchronization and presents a uniform proof for their correctness. We present a machine checked proof of this schematic protocol that revises some of the details in Schneider's original analysis. The verification was carried out with the EHDM system [7] developed at the SRI Computer Science Laboratory. The mechanically checked proofs include the verification that the egocentric mean function used in Lamport and Melliar-Smith's Interactive Convergence Algorithm [4] satisfies the requirements of Schneider's protocol."
