Kudelski Security Co-founds the League of Entropy to provide secure and reliable Randomness for the Internet
Kudelski Security, a leading cybersecurity company, is proud to announce its role as a co-founder of the League of Entropy, a global network of servers that generate and distribute high-quality randomness for the internet. The League of Entropy relies on the drand protocol, software developed and maintained by Randamu, a software publisher specializing in cryptographic solutions.
Randomness is essential for many applications on the internet, such as cryptography, online gaming, lotteries, and blockchain. However, generating and distributing randomness in a secure and reliable way is challenging, especially in a decentralized setting where malicious actors may try to manipulate or disrupt the process.
To address this challenge, Kudelski Security joined forces with other organizations, such as Cloudflare, Protocol Labs, and the University of Chile, to create the League of Entropy in 2019. The League of Entropy is a consortium of independent nodes that use drand to produce collective randomness that is unpredictable, unbiased, and verifiable by anyone.
Challenges
Some of the challenges that Kudelski Security faced and overcame by co-founding the League of Entropy are:
- Ensuring the security and integrity of the randomness generation and distribution process
- Providing high availability and scalability for the randomness service
- Maintaining compatibility and interoperability with different platforms and protocols that use randomness
- Enhancing the transparency and trustworthiness of the randomness source
Results
Some of the results that Kudelski Security achieved by co-founding the League of Entropy include:
- Contributing to the development and improvement of the drand protocol and software
- Hosting a drand node that participates in the randomness generation and distribution process
- Supporting the growth and diversity of the League of Entropy by adding new members and nodes
- Leveraging the randomness service for its own products and solutions, such as encryption, authentication, and blockchain
Summary
Kudelski Security is committed to continue supporting the League of Entropy and Randamu in their mission to provide high-quality randomness for the internet. Kudelski Security believes that randomness is a key ingredient for innovation and security in the digital world.
