Pieter Wuille and Tim Ruffing treat us to a conversation about Schnorr, multi-signatures, MuSig, and more. We covered a lot so this is part one of a two part conversation.
We discussed:
- When to roll your own cryptography (01:31)
- Schnorr Signatures (09:01)
- Why is Schnorr preferable to ECDSA? (10:55)
- Schnorr efficiency improvements (15:52)
- Multisigs (23:16)
- MuSig (25:07)
- Yannick Seurin
- Rogue key attack or key cancellation attack (31:00)
- Bellare-Neven (32:12)
- Interactive versus non-interactive protocols (35:30)
- FROST (42:42)
