Yeah, that's not exactly how it works. The drand nodes are publishing random beacons that are signed, that's the only thing the networks does. Publishing public verifiable randomness. But pairing-based cryptography allows us to do identity-based encryption and that's like magic, but basically we can rely on a message as a public key, and on a signature as a secret key, and that's how tlock works.
