Also the other limitation for ECDSA is that there is no known protocol to create a signture with a+b (where keys P=aG, Q=bG, R=P+Q=(a+b)G). without either a sending its private key to b or viceversa (or both to a third party).
With Schnorr sigs you can do it, but the k^-1 term in ECDSA makes a (secure) direct multiparty signature quite difficult. ps probably only 1 party needs to hash their key P=aG H(P) -> <- Q=bG P -> Adam On Sat, Mar 08, 2014 at 12:37:30PM +0200, Joel Kaartinen wrote: > If both parties insist on seeing a hash of the other party's public key > before they'll show their own public key, they can be sure that the > public key is not chosen based on the public key they themselves > presented. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subversion Kills Productivity.
