Public randomness is a fundamental component in many cryptographic protocols and
distributed systems and often plays a crucial role in ensuring their security, fairness, and …

Generating and integrating shared randomness into a blockchain can expand applications
and strengthen security. We aim to have validators generating blockchain randomness …

A randomness beacon is a source of continuous and publicly verifiable randomness which
is of crucial importance for many applications. Existing works on distributed randomness …

The classical distributed key generation protocols (DKG) are resurging due to their
widespread applications in blockchain. While efforts have been made to improve DKG …

We present Rondo, a scalable and reconfiguration-friendly distributed randomness beacon
(DRB) protocol in the partially synchronous model. Rondo is the first DRB protocol that is …

Several distributed protocols, including distributed key generation (DKG) and interactive
consistency (IC), depend on $\mathcal {O}(n) $ instances of Byzantine Broadcast or …
