schnorrkel
A Rust implementation of Schnorr signatures and verifiable random functions (VRF) on the Ristretto group for secure cryptographic protocols.
What is schnorrkel?
Schnorrkel is a Rust library that implements Schnorr signatures and verifiable random functions (VRF) on the Ristretto group, providing secure cryptographic primitives for applications like blockchain and digital signatures. It solves the need for efficient, provably secure signature schemes and randomness generation in cryptographic protocols. The library supports advanced features like multi-signatures and hierarchical key derivation.
Cryptography engineers and blockchain developers building secure systems that require Schnorr signatures, VRFs, or multi-signature protocols, particularly in Rust-based projects.
Developers choose Schnorrkel for its robust implementation of Schnorr signatures on the Ristretto group, which offers prime-order security and interoperability with the dalek cryptography ecosystem, along with support for VRFs and multi-signatures.
