> Consulting on Threshold Cryptography

## About

drand labs is the team behind [drand](https://drand.love), a distributed randomness beacon used in production by Filecoin, Cloudflare, and others. drand produces publicly verifiable, unbiasable, and unpredictable random values at regular intervals using threshold BLS signatures across a network of independent participants.

We provide consultancy services in threshold cryptography: protocol design, implementation, and integration.

## Consulting Services

We advise on the architecture, design, and implementation of systems built on threshold cryptography, including:

- **Verifiable Randomness** - Unbiasable, publicly verifiable randomness beacons using threshold BLS signatures
- **Sealed Bid Auctions** - Threshold encryption schemes for fair, tamper-proof auction protocols
- **Multiparty Computation** - MPC protocol design for privacy-preserving computation
- **Identity-Based Encryption** - IBE schemes built on threshold cryptography for flexible key management

Our typical engagement is one to three months with a team of two or three. We like to build in golang, rust, solidity, and unix-based infrastructure.
