This document specifies the Flexible Round-Optimized Schnorr
Threshold (FROST) signing protocol. FROST signatures can be issued
after a threshold number of entities cooperate to compute a
signature, allowing for improved distribution of trust and redundancy
with respect to a secret key. FROST depends only on a prime-order
group and cryptographic hash function. This document specifies a
number of ciphersuites to instantiate FROST using different
prime-order groups and hash functions. This document is a product of
the Crypto Forum Research Group (CFRG) in the IRTF.
