Abstract
Publicly verifiable random number seeds are widely used in distributed systems and applications, especially in consensus algorithms. The purpose was to distribute the tasks and benefits among the participants fairly. A secure and efficient consensus algorithm is the foundation and guarantee of blockchain. We have been working on more concise, fair, and secure blockchain consensus algorithms. In this paper, we propose a new, more concise, efficient, and publicly verifiable random number seed generation scheme based on the existing secret sharing scheme and one-way function. We combined it with two blockchain consensus algorithms to improve the security and efficiency of the original scheme.
期刊介绍：
The quality of software, well-defined interfaces (hardware and software), the process of digitalisation, and accepted standards in these fields are essential for building and exploiting complex computing, communication, multimedia and measuring systems. Standards can simplify the design and construction of individual hardware and software components and help to ensure satisfactory interworking.
Computer Standards & Interfaces is an international journal dealing specifically with these topics.
The journal
• Provides information about activities and progress on the definition of computer standards, software quality, interfaces and methods, at national, European and international levels
• Publishes critical comments on standards and standards activities
• Disseminates user''s experiences and case studies in the application and exploitation of established or emerging standards, interfaces and methods
• Offers a forum for discussion on actual projects, standards, interfaces and methods by recognised experts
• Stimulates relevant research by providing a specialised refereed medium.
