Collective Coin-Flipping is a classical problem where n
computationally unbounded processors are trying to generate a random
bit in a setting where only a single broadcast channel is available
for communication. The protocol is said to be b(n)-resilient if any
adversary that can corrupt up to b(n) players, still cannot ...

In 1985, Ben-Or and Linial (Advances in Computing Research '89) introduced the collective coin-flipping problem, where $n$ parties communicate via a single broadcast channel and wish to generate a common random bit in the presence of adaptive Byzantine corruptions. In this model, the adversary can decide to corrupt a party ... more >>>
In a distributed coin-flipping protocol, Blum [ACM Transactions on Computer Systems '83],
the parties try to output a common (close to) uniform bit, even when some adversarially chosen parties try to bias the common output. In an adaptively secure full-information coin flip, Ben-Or and Linial [FOCS '85], the parties communicate ...
