Rondo: Scalable and Reconfiguration-Friendly Randomness Beacon
Paper: [1]
- This work presents a reconfiguration-friendly asynchronous random beacon protocol.1
- Use batched AVSS (bAVSS) with partial output (called bAVSS-PO) to share B shares per dealer and a new reconfiguration-friendly BFT-SMR called Rondo-BFT. DRB = bAVSS-PO instance called Breeze + Rondo-BFT. Rondo-BFT is the reconfiguration-friendly version of HotStuff. Here, bAVSS-PO has weaker commitment property.
Unresolved Questions
- What is the weaker commitment property exactly?
