    Abstract: A method is disclosed for establishing a verifiable random number for use in a process that involves a random number. A source for a seed number is selected, the source being publicly available and publicly accepted as a source for numbers that are random. An algorithm is established that uses the seed number as a basis for determining the verifiable random number. The random number is then generated using the seed number and the algorithm. The source of the seed number and the algorithm are preferably published in advance of an existence of the seed number to enable at least one individual to reproduce a calculation of the random number.
