| Description | This paper discusses basic security aspects of distributed random number generation in potentially hostile environments. The goal is to outline and discuss a distributed approach, which comes to question in the case of attacker being able to target one or several mobile devices. We define communication paths and attacker models instead of providing technical details of local generation. This paper also includes a discussion of several issues of such distributed approach. |
