Byzantine beacon system

Well little one, have you ever played a game where you and your friends are working together to complete a task, but some of your friends may not be playing fair and trying to mess things up? That's kind of like what the Byzantine Beacon System is all about.

You see, the Byzantine Beacon System is used by computers that need to work together and share information, just like how you and your friends need to work together to finish a game. But sometimes, some of these computers might be trying to cheat or lie to the other computers.

So, the Byzantine Beacon System uses special "beacons" that are like signals or messages that tell the other computers what's going on. And these beacons are special because they can help the computers figure out if someone is not playing fair or trying to mess things up.

Think of it like a secret code that you and your friends have that only you guys know. If someone tries to cheat or mess things up, you can use this code to figure out who it is and stop them from ruining the game.

In the same way, the Byzantine Beacon System helps computers that are working together to make sure everyone is playing fair and that no one is trying to mess things up. It's like a secret code that helps computers trust each other and work together more efficiently.
