To that end, this proposal specifies a cryptographic ceremony, based on a relatively standard “Powers of Tau” protocol, to generate the SRS for WRAPS.
Specifically, it details a protocol that can be executed by the council members -- specifically, those council members that also run consensus nodes -- where each participant supplies some secret entropy to the protocol.
Selected community participants may, possibly, be able to participate in this process as well.
The protocol has the guarantee that as long as one participant acts honestly, and deletes the secret entropy used during the protocol, we have security, in that no (computationally-bounded) adversarial entity can forge invalid proofs.

To minimize the impact of normal consensus operations, the protocol logic is not part of the consensus node software.
