The Zcash Basis engineering workforce has been engaged on an implementation library for FROST (Versatile Spherical-Optimized Schnorr Threshold Signatures) for Zcash.To assist this we now have constructed demos, that are NOT for use in a manufacturing setting nor with any secrets and techniques. The aim of those demos are to:
- Establish gaps in our documentation
- Present utilization examples for developer going through documentation
- Present reference implementations for builders wanting to make use of FROST in a “actual world” state of affairs
THREE DEMOS
We now have three demos on this mission overlaying every of the corresponding roles, that are:
- Trusted Vendor: a 3rd get together or participant who’s trusted to:
- Generate good randomness
- Hold secret values confidential
- Delete secret values after distributing key shares to every participant
- Participant: a recipient of a key share
- Coordinator: a 3rd get together or participant who’s liable for:
- Figuring out which members will participate in producing a signature
- Coordinating FROST signature rounds
- Aggregating signature shares generated by every participant
- Publishing the ensuing signature
Be aware: We even have a demo which covers Distributed Key Technology (DKG), the place there isn’t a trusted supplier function and members generate key shares amongst themselves.
The publish Demo for FROST for Zcash Library appeared first on Zcash Basis.
