He defined a "shared register" and explained how it's complicated to implementing them due to the possibility of faulty nodes. And he present the solution who's the Fault-Tolerant Register. He also present the "linearizability" property and how it's used to define the Fault-Tolerant Register.

Finally he introduce two implementation of the Fault-Tolerant Register: one who's crash-tolerent and the other one who's Byzantine-tolerent.

## Chapter 2
He precised the context of the implementation. We are on an arbitrary, partitionnable network composed of Average Delayed/Dropped channels (ADD).
The failure detectors can be defined by their accuracy and completness tel que:
- Strong completeness is satisfied if the failure detector of each node eventually suspects all nodes that are crashed.
- Eventual strong accuracy is satisfied if the failure detector of every node eventually stops suspecting all nodes that are correct.
He described he's algorithm.
## Chapter 3.1
He purposed a new Fault-Tolerant Register who's crash-tolerent and churn proof.
The algorithm is tolerent of node who could crash or leave the system.
There is no hierarchy between the nodes. And the algorithm emulated a shared memory using the message-passing model.
## Chapter 3.2
He purposed a new Fault-Tolerant Register who's crash-tolerent and churn and Byzantin proof.
The model add a notion of server in the previous model (where we had only clients). And a system of asymetric signature.
Also he proved than it's impossible with thiss model to determine the number of Byzantin server as a fraction of the total number of servers.
