This document describes the Schnorr non-interactive zero-knowledge
(NIZK) proof, a non-interactive variant of the three-pass Schnorr
identification scheme. The Schnorr NIZK proof allows one to prove
the knowledge of a discrete logarithm without leaking any information
about its value. It can serve as a useful building block for many
cryptographic protocols to ensure that participants follow the
protocol specification honestly. This document specifies the Schnorr
NIZK proof in both the finite field and the elliptic curve settings.
