<p>Cyber physical systems
are deployed in a wide range of applications from sensor nodes in a factory
setting to drones in defense applications. This distributed setting of nodes or
processes often needs to reach agreement on a set of values. Byzantine
Agreement protocols address this issue of reaching an agreement in an
environment where a malicious entity can take control over a set of nodes and
deviates the system from its normal operation. However these protocols do not
consider the energy consumption of the nodes. We explore Byzantine Agreement
protocols from an energy efficient perspective providing both <i>energy
resilience</i> where the actions of the Byzantine nodes can not adversely
effect the energy consumption of non-malicious nodes as well as <i>fairness</i> in
energy consumption of nodes over multiple rounds of agreement.</p>
