In this paper, we describe a novel proactive recovery scheme based on service migration for long-running Byzantine fault tolerant systems. Proactive recovery is an essential method for ensuring long term reliability of fault tolerant systems that are under continuous threats from malicious adversaries. The primary benefit of our proactive recovery scheme is a reduced vulnerability window. This is achieved by removing the time-consuming reboot step from the critical path of proactive recovery. Our migration-based proactive recovery is coordinated among the replicas, therefore, it can automatically adjust to different system loads and avoid the problem of excessive concurrent proactive recoveries that may occur in previous work with fixed watchdog timeouts. Moreover, the fast proactive recovery also significantly improves the system availability in the presence of faults.
