Panel

Panel on Security of Threshold ECDLP-based Signatures

January 26, 2026

Presenters

Elizabeth Crites
Stefano Tessaro
Nikolaos Makriyannis
Luís Brandão

Description

Abstract. Informal panel conversation about security of threshold signatures (such as Schnorr/EdDSA, ECDSA, BLS) based on the elliptic-curve discrete-logarithm problem (ECDLP). What is the cost and value of pursuing certain advanced security features? The conversation may several perspectives, such as:

  • Security against adaptive corruptions
  • Strong unforgeability
  • Security formulation (ideal functionalities, security games)
  • Useful properties beyond unforgeability
  • Security assumptions, security tightness

Panelists: Elizabeth Crites (see 1a2), Nikolaos Makriyannis (see 1a3), Stefano Tessaro (see 1b4). Moderator: Luís Brandão (see 102). [Video to appear]
