== Overview == The protocol assumes the following: * Players can generate numbers they trust to be random * Players distrust numbers generated by other players * These random numbers are secret unless told to other player These assumptions seem reasonable to me at least and match my expectations of multiplayer games. The protocol I propose here works like this: # Each player generates a random number # They prove to other players they have generated their number # All players reveal their numbers # The numbers are mixed to generate a final random number seed Step 2 is necessary to prevent players from picking numbers could unmix other player's numbers. The mixing agent here needs to ensure that no player's randomness (or entropy) is removed, only added.
