We present a practical construction and implementation of timelock encryption, in which a ciphertext is guaranteed to be decryptable only after some specified time has passed. We employ an existing threshold network, the League of Entropy, implementing threshold BLS in the context of Boneh and Franklin's identity-based encryption (IBE) At present this threshold network broadcasts BLS signatures over each round number, equivalent to the current time interval, and as such can be considered a de...
