/// An off-chain consensus protocol requires randomness be finalized before usage, but one

/// that finality never stalls for longer than one epoch.
///
/// All randomness is relative to commitments to any other inputs to the computation: If
/// Alice samples randomness near perfectly using radioactive decay, but then afterwards
/// Eve selects an arbitrary value with which to xor Alice's randomness, then Eve always
/// wins whatever game they play.
///
/// All input commitments used with `RandomnessFromTwoEpochsAgo` should come from at least
/// three epochs ago. We require BABE session keys be registered at least three epochs
/// before being used to derive `CurrentBlockRandomness` for example.
///
/// All users learn `RandomnessFromTwoEpochsAgo` when epoch `current_epoch - 1` starts,
/// although some learn it a few block earlier inside epoch `current_epoch - 2`.
///
/// Adversaries with enough block producers could bias this randomness by choosing upon
/// what their block producers build at the end of epoch `current_epoch - 2` or the
/// beginning epoch `current_epoch - 1`, or skipping slots at the end of epoch
/// `current_epoch - 2`.

/// Adversaries should not possess many block production slots towards the beginning or
/// end of every epoch, but they possess some influence over when they possess more slots.

/// Adversaries with enough block producers could bias this randomness by choosing upon

/// Alice samples randomness near perfectly using radioactive decay, but then afterwards
/// Eve selects an arbitrary value with which to xor Alice's randomness, then Eve always

///
/// As with `RandomnessFromTwoEpochsAgo`, all input commitments combined with
/// `CurrentBlockRandomness` should come from at least two epoch ago, except preferably
/// not near epoch ending, and thus ideally three epochs ago.
///
/// Almost all users learn this randomness for a block when the block producer announces
/// the block, which makes this randomness appear quite fresh. Yet, the block producer
/// themselves learned this randomness at the beginning of epoch `current_epoch - 2`, at
/// the same time as they learn `RandomnessFromTwoEpochsAgo`.
///
/// Aside from just biasing `RandomnessFromTwoEpochsAgo`, adversaries could also bias
/// `CurrentBlockRandomness` by never announcing their block if doing so yields an
/// unfavorable randomness. As such, `CurrentBlockRandomness` should be considered weaker
/// than both other randomness sources provided by BABE, but `CurrentBlockRandomness`
/// remains constrained by declared staking, while a randomness source like block hash is
/// only constrained by adversaries' unknowable computational power.
///
/// As an example use, parachains could assign block production slots based upon the
/// `CurrentBlockRandomness` of their relay parent or relay parent's parent, provided the
/// parachain registers collators but avoids censorship sensitive functionality like
/// slashing. Any parachain with slashing could operate BABE itself or perhaps better yet
/// a BABE-like approach that derives its `CurrentBlockRandomness`, and authorizes block
/// production, based upon the relay parent's `CurrentBlockRandomness` or more likely the
/// relay parent's `RandomnessFromTwoEpochsAgo`.
