Query: Byzantine-Resilient Counting in Networks   We present two distributed algorithms for the {\em Byzantine counting
problem}, which is concerned with estimating the size of a network in the
presence of a large number of Byzantine nodes.
  In an $n$-node network ($n$ is unknown), our first algorithm, which is {\em
deterministic}, finishes in $O(\log{n})$ rounds and is time-optimal. This
algorithm can tolerate up to $O(n^{1 - \gamma})$ arbitrarily (adversarially)
placed Byzantine nodes for any arbitrarily small (but fixed) positive constant
$\gamma$. It outputs a (fixed) constant factor estimate of $\log{n}$ that would
be known to all but $o(1)$ fraction of the good nodes. This algorithm works for
\emph{any} bounded degree expander network. However, this algorithms assumes
that good nodes can send arbitrarily large-sized messages in a round.
  Our second algorithm is {\em randomized} and most good nodes send only
small-sized messages (Throughout this paper, a small-sized message is defined
to be one that contains $O(\log{n})$ bits in addition to at most a constant
number of node IDs.). This algorithm works in \emph{almost all} $d$-regular
graphs. It tolerates up to $B(n) = n^{\frac{1}{2} - \xi}$ (note that $n$ and
$B(n)$ are unknown to the algorithm) arbitrarily (adversarially) placed
Byzantine nodes, where $\xi$ is any arbitrarily small (but fixed) positive
constant. This algorithm takes $O(B(n)\log^2{n})$ rounds and outputs a (fixed)
constant factor estimate of $\log{n}$ with probability at least $1 - o(1)$. The
said estimate is known to most nodes, i.e., $\geq (1 - \beta)n$ nodes for any
arbitrarily small (but fixed) positive constant $\beta$.
  To complement our algorithms, we also present an impossibility result that
shows that it is impossible to estimate the network size with any reasonable
approximation with any non-trivial probability of success if the network does
not have sufficient vertex expansion.
