Thetacrypt Library for Threshold Cryptography in Distributed Systems
/ 1 min read
🔑✨ Thetacrypt: A New Library for Threshold Cryptography in Distributed Systems. Thetacrypt is a versatile library designed to integrate various threshold cryptographic schemes into a single codebase, addressing challenges in distributed trust systems and blockchain applications. It supports six cryptographic schemes, including ciphers, signatures, and randomness generation, and is agnostic to implementation languages. The architecture facilitates uniform support for diverse protocols and includes a flexible adapter for peer-to-peer communication and total-order broadcast channels, which can be utilized by distributed ledgers. Additionally, Thetacrypt serves as a controlled testbed for evaluating the performance of multiple threshold schemes, highlighting the importance of considering the distributed nature of protocols in system performance assessments.
