Parkes observations for project P1161 semester 2022OCTS_06

Randomness is the basis of security, privacy, trust and fairness. Cryptographic methods become vulnerable if the underlying randomness is weak or could be biased by the users of the system. Numerous applications rely on “Publicly verifiable randomness” (PVR), where randomness is extracted from a publicly accessible process or object, the output of which can be verified by third parties. With this proposal we wish to determine which pulsars would be most suitable if we wish to produce PVR through observations of pulsars.
