Zero Knowledge
Description
In this week's episode, we sit down with https://twitter.com/drakefjustin (Justin Drake), researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, to discuss randomness in blockchain, how it can be created and what adversarial models exist. We also discuss the random beacon and how that concept has evolved in the development of ETH2.0
Our initial definition of randomness in cryptography comes largely from this article by cloudflare: https://blog.cloudflare.com/randomness-101-lavarand-in-production/ (https://blog.cloudflare.com/randomness-101-lavarand-in-production/)
