Abstract

In this paper we give the minimal connectivity required in a synchronous directed network, which is under the influence of a computationally unbounded \emph{Byzantine} adversary that can corrupt a subset of nodes, so that Secure Message Transmission is possible between sender $S$ and receiver $R$. We also show that secure communication between a pair of nodes in a given synchronous directed network is possible in both directions if and only if reliable communication is possible between them. We assume that in a network, every node is capable of computation and we model the network along the lines of \cite{SR06}.
