[Cfrg] EC signature: next steps

[Alexey Melnikov <[e-mail]>]

Dear CFRG participants,

Many thanks to Ilari for posting this updated summary of where things
currently stand. Kenny and I would now like to run a short discussion
focusing on this summary, with our intention being to flush out any last
issues or additional points of comparison between the different schemes
that everyone should be aware of.

Once everyone has kicked the tires, so to speak, we plan to move to a
poll to decide which scheme CFRG should focus on writing up and formally
recommending. We, as chairs, are hoping these steps will get us to the
finishing line.

So:

- are there important characteristics or points of comparison that
Ilari's summary does not cover?

- are there errors of fact or omission that need to be corrected?

- anything else?


We'll let this discussion run for exactly one week, but we might extend
the time if the discussion is still going strong and new arguments or
points of comparison are brought up. After that, if no major new
information is brought up, we will start the Quaker poll for selecting a
single CFRG-recommended signature scheme.


Best Regards,
Kenny and Alexey
