Descrizione
In order to be able to implement certain kinds of architectures that leverage commitments (for instance Key Transparency, Kademilia, CONIKS) we need an implementation of [Verifiable Random Functions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verifiable_random_function).
There does exist a C fork of `bitcoin-core/secp256k1` at https://github.com/aergoio/secp256k1-vrf that implements VRF to the IETF standard, which likely is close to what we need. There is also one in Rust that is more questionable: https://github.com/debasish-raychawdhuri/vrf_on_secp256k1
