Aggregatable Distributed Key Generation

Not sure how much novelty there is in the construction of this protocol, but there was a preprint shared today, posted at this URL =

A less 'academic' write-up of the scheme was published on one of the team member's blogs here = https://www.benthamsgaze.org/2021/03/24/aggregatable-distributed-key-generation/

General Thoughts

The use here is obvious, but I'm still not sure if it has been all the way justified that this scheme's construction is uniquely different than what already exists currenlty.

Example From Ethereum: https://github.com/herumi/bls

There are other examples if you look deep enough on the internet (with better explanations on how they're supposed to work within the context of something that many would consider to be valuable at this point in time [i.e., blockchain])

Aggregatable Distributed Key Generation

We present our work on designing an aggregatable distributed key generation algorithm, which will appear at Eurocrypt 2021.  This is joint work with Kobi Gurkan, Philipp Jovanovic, Mary Maller, Sarah Meiklejohn, Gilad Stern, and Alin Tomescu.
