While it's often helpful for a document's IANA Considerations section to remain in place upon publication even if there are no actions, if the authors strongly prefer to remove it, we do not object. If this assessment is not accurate, please respond as soon as possible.

FROST signatures can be issued after a threshold number of entities … Technical Summary This document describes a mechanism for threshold signatures over prime order groups. FROST signatures can be issued after a threshold number of entities cooperate to compute a signature, allowing for improved distribution of trust and security. The scheme also minimizes the network overhead of producing Schnorr signatures in a threshold setting, as well as reducing the amount of communication required between parties. FROST is designed with flexibility in mind, allowing for different levels of security depending on the number of entities involved in the signing process. This makes it suitable for use in various applications such as distributed ledgers, multi-signature wallets, and secure hardware devices. Additionally, FROST provides an efficient way to securely share secrets among multiple parties without having to rely on a trusted third party or central authority. This document also provides concrete instantiations of these signatures over several types of elliptic curves or prime order groups derived from elliptic curves (such as Ristretto). Signatures produced with this method for Ed25519 are compatible with signature verification algorithms described in RFC 8032. This document is a product of the Crypto Forum Research Group (CFRG) in the IRTF. Working Group Summary The document was adopted in 2021 as the starting point for a call for adoption for threshold signatures at the CFRG. It has gone through multiple iterations and improvements after adoption including compatibility with curves defined In the CFRG and NIST. Document Quality This document went through an expert review by Thomas Pornin on the Crypto Review panel and extensive review from CFRG participants, including Tim Ruffins, Orie Steele, Conrado Gouvêa, Henry de Valence, Paul Bottinelli, Christopher Patton, Denis Varlakov and others. The shepherd also reviewed the document and provided Comments during two last call periods. There are several implementations of this draft online in various languages and the draft includes test vectors. Personnel Nick Sullivan is the Document Shepherd. Colin Perkins is the IRTF Chair. |
