Introduction

• The number of users u.
• The public key P = P₁ + ... + P_u : a point
• The message m: an array of 32 bytes

The n , G and functions are cited from the original text.

Signing

Step 1

Every user(i = 1...u) prepare secret key , random point and hash value.

• The secret key d_i: an integer in the range 1..n-1.
• Let k_i = int(hash(bytes(d_i) || m)) mod n.
• Let R_i = k_iG.
• Let h_i = hash(bytes(R_i)).

Step 2

Every user(i = 1...u) sends hash value (h_i) to other users(j = 1...u , i ≠ j).

Step 3

If all hash values are received, users(i = 1...u) send random point(R_i) to other users(j = 1...u , i ≠ j).

Step 4

Every user(i = 1...u) checks :

• For j = 1...u , i ≠ j:
  • Let h = hash(bytes(R_j)).
  • Fail if h_j ≠ h.

Every user(i = 1...u) sign :

• Let k_i = int(hash(bytes(d_i) || m)) mod n.
• Let R = R₁ + ... + R_u.
• If jacobi(y(R)) ≠ 1 , let k_i = n - k_i.
• Let e = int(hash(bytes(x(R)) || bytes(P) || m)) mod n.
• Let s_i = bytes(k_i + ed_i mod n).

Every user(i = 1...u) sends their signature(s_i) to other users(j = 1...u , i ≠ j).

Step 5

Every user(i = 1...u) checks:

• Let R = R₁ + ... + R_u.
• Let e = int(hash(bytes(x(R)) || bytes(P) || m)) mod n.
• For j = 1...u , i ≠ j:
  • Fail if s_j ≥ n.
  • Let R = s_jG - eP_j
  • Fail if infinite(R') or x(R) ≠ x(R_j).

Step 6

Any user creates a signature :

• Let R = R₁ + ... + R_u.
• Let s = s₁ + ... + s_u mod n.
• The signature is bytes(x(R)) || bytes(s).
