Abstract: This paper presents a simple and efficient reliable broadcast algorithm for asynchronous message-passing systems made up of $n$ processes, among which up to $t<n/5$ may behave arbitrarily (Byzantine processes). This algorithm requires two communication steps and $n^2-1$ messages. When compared to Bracha's algorithm, which is resilience optimal ($t<n/3$) and requires three communication steps and $2n^2-n-1$ messages, the proposed algorithm shows an interesting tradeoff between communication efficiency and $t$-resilience.
