Verifiable Random Generation Process
A cryptographic parameter generation method in which curve parameters are derived from a public seed value and a deterministic algorithm, allowing anyone to reproduce and verify the process. It is used to ensure that parameters have not been maliciously chosen.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The verifiable random generation process requires first selecting a public seed string, then repeatedly applying hash functions such as SHA-1 to map the output to curve parameters, so that anyone can rerun the verification with the same seed and algorithm.
If someone first constructs a curve with a backdoor and then works backward to find a seed that can generate it, verifiability is undermined.
