Something to do with encrypting using a hash of the round number and pair encryption based off a chosen chain's public key. I'm still processing the pair encryption bits.

Essentially the hash of the round number is the encryption key and the randomness that gets generated at that round number (in the future) is the decryption key

Almost, the randomness is generated using a BLS signature that also makes it verifiable. And that signature is the decryption key.
