Overview, Feedback and Opportunities re the NIST Call for Multi-Party Threshold Cryptography
summary
NIST issues a public call (NISTIR 8214C draft) for reference material on multi‑party threshold schemes, with a revised call in 2023, a virtual workshop late‑2023 and a likely mid‑2024 submission deadline. Submissions must include written specification, reference implementation and experimental evaluation, cover threshold versions of RSA/ECDSA/AES and selected post‑quantum candidates, support at least active security (not just semi‑honest), and may include zero‑knowledge proofs of key‑knowledge and reusable gadget building blocks for broader analysis and future recommendations.
