This paper presents the first probabilistic Byzantine Agreement algorithm whose
communication and time complexities are poly-logarithmic. So far, the most effective
probabilistic Byzantine Agreement algorithm had communication complexity Õ (√ n) and
time complexity Õ (1). Our algorithm is based on a novel, unbalanced, almost-everywhere to
everywhere Agreement protocol which is interesting in its own right.
