Tamper resistant randomness refers to random values generated through a process designed to prevent any unauthorized modification or influence by malicious actors. This is achieved through cryptographic techniques and secure hardware, ensuring that the randomness produced is genuinely unpredictable and cannot be altered after its generation. Such randomness is vital for security-critical applications in blockchain and cryptography. It ensures fairness and integrity in decentralized systems.
Context
The creation and verification of tamper resistant randomness are critical for the security and fairness of many blockchain protocols, especially in areas like validator selection and decentralized gaming. Debates often focus on the trade-offs between hardware-based trusted execution environments and purely cryptographic solutions for achieving this property. Future advancements aim to develop more accessible and verifiable methods for generating and distributing tamper resistant randomness across decentralized networks.
Introducing BCPVRNG-SC, a dual-PRNG mechanism that embeds verifiable randomness into the ledger, structurally eliminating proposer bias and enhancing network fairness.
