Permutable Pseudorandom refers to a sequence of numbers that appears random but can be deterministically regenerated. This concept is crucial in cryptography for creating sequences that are unpredictable without a secret key, yet reproducible when needed. The “permutable” aspect implies that elements within the sequence can be rearranged or accessed in a non-sequential manner while maintaining their pseudorandom properties. Such sequences are often used in constructing cryptographic primitives like stream ciphers or generating unique identifiers.
Context
Permutable Pseudorandom generators are fundamental to various cryptographic applications, including those in blockchain for secure data handling and randomness generation. Current discussions focus on designing generators that offer enhanced security against advanced cryptanalysis and quantum attacks. Future developments aim to integrate these robust pseudorandom sequences into decentralized applications requiring verifiable and unpredictable outcomes, such as in gaming or lottery protocols.
New one-shot signature construction leverages indistinguishability obfuscation, resolving a decade-old cryptographic commitment problem and bolstering post-quantum security.
