Combined CTV+APO to minimal TXHASH+CSFS

Abstract

This proposal is an alternative to [bip119][] and [bip118][], providing the functionality of both proposals with minimal additional overhead in many cases, while clearing certain objections to both, and opening clear upgrade paths.

This is, in essence, an initially constrained version of Russel O'Connor's [OP_TXHASH+OP_CSFS proposal][].

Threshold-encryption for multisig backups. This is a demo to backup the xpubs of a 3-of-5 multisig
#
# This is a scheme to encrypt a backup of a t-of-n Multisig spending script
# such that any combination of t-of-n xpubkeys can recover the missing (n-t) xpubkeys.
#
#
# In this example, we encrypt the 5 xpubkeys of a 3-of-5 Multisig
# and demonstrate how to recover from any 3 xpubkeys the other 2 missing xpubkeys.
#
# The scheme is a simple variation of Shamir's secret sharing.
# It is nicely compact. The encrypted payload is only the size of 2 xpubkeys.

Blind Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange (blind ecash)

The goal of this protocol is for Bob to get Alice to perform a Diffie-Hellman key exchange blindly, such that when the unblinded value is returned, Alice recognizes it as her own, but can’t distinguish it from others (i.e. similar to a blind signature).

Alice:
A = a*G
return A

Bob:
Y = hash_to_curve(secret_message)
r = random blinding factor
