Consensus algorithms that function in permissionless blockchain systems must randomly select new block proposers in a decentralised environment. Our contribution is a new blockchain consensus ...

Physical unclonable functions (PUFs) are becoming more and more popular as hardware security primitives because they can create truly random digital keys by taking advantage of the intrinsic ...

We provide a systematic analysis of two related multiparty protocols, namely (Non-Interactive Fully) Distributed Verifiable Random Functions (DVRFs) and Decentralised Random Beacons (DRBs), including ...
