🗒️Terminologies

We will try to describe all terminologies here, that help you to understand the protocol and all denotes.

Dealer

Who's generate randomness and contribute their randomness to construct the grand randomness.

Verifier

Who's observe the process and verify distributed shares from the randomness. They can receive reward by committing dishonest dealer/verifier.

Participant

Who's participate in Orochi đRNG protocol they played two roles Dealer and Verifier

Publicly Verifiable Secret Sharing (PVSS)

A mechanism to split secret into share and allows any one to verify the encrypted shares of a secret without reveal the secret.

Verifiable Random Function (VRF)

Generating a randomness for a corresponding key-pair, the generated value is verifiable

Grand Randomness

The value which was constructed by combine all randomnesses.

Randomness

Orochi đRNG will use VRF to draw the randomness, this process is necessary to prevent participants to contribute low entropy randomness and detect dishonest participant.

Randomness shares

Orochi đRNG will use PVSS to split the randomness into shares. At the genesis of each epoch no one know enough share to reconstruct Grand Randomness till the end of epoch.

Epoch

The duration that's necessary to generate a Grand Randomness

Orand

This is a brand of Orochi Decentralized Random Number Generator.
