Definition ∞ A Randomized Routine involves the introduction of unpredictable elements into a computational process or protocol. This randomness is often used to enhance security, fairness, or efficiency in distributed systems. It helps prevent deterministic attacks and ensures equitable participation.
Context ∞ Randomized routines are frequently employed in various blockchain consensus mechanisms and security protocols, often appearing in news related to network resilience and attack prevention. For instance, they can determine which nodes participate in validation or how data is distributed. The proper implementation of randomness is crucial for maintaining the integrity and decentralization of digital asset networks.
