 Robust random number generation for peer-to-peer systems
 http://www14.in.tum.de/personen/scheideler/papers/OPODIS-116b.pdf
 Talks about the problem of distributed random number generation and
 presents possible a solution. The authors describe what is essentially the
 ticketed problem as their motivation.
 Seems to be designed for situations where less than n/6 peers are
 adversarial.

 Another paper by the same guys that seems very relevant is:
 Group Spreading: A protocol for provably secure distributed name service
