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 …

We propose Cornucopia, a distributed randomness beacon protocol combining
accumulators and verifiable delay functions. Cornucopia extends the Unicorn protocol of …

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 propose Cornucopia, a protocol framework for distributed randomness beacons
combining accumulators and verifiable delay functions. Cornucopia generalizes the Unicorn …

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 …

Threshold variants of the Schnorr signature scheme have recently been at the center of
attention due to their applications to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies …

Multi-valued validated Byzantine agreement (MVBA), a fundamental primitive of distributed
computing, enables n processes to agree on a valid L-bit value, despite t faulty processes …

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