How it works
In the published document, programmers will briefly describe its product as «a Protocol that allows you to put the signature short messages to the group». Yesterday MuSig finally moved from the initial idea to a complete working code that has been integrated into secp256k1-zkp (a fork of the library from Bitcoin secp256k1 ).
Working on the Protocol API allows you to create «without sharp corners with resistance to wrong usage scenarios». The team of programmers are also aware of the importance of improving the protection models with the public key. Note that the signatures in MuSig should serve as a good tool to protect the privacy of all users of Bitcoin.
However, in the course of writing code, developers are faced with many challenges. It turns out that a previously published version of MuSig contain a serious vulnerability.
Signature MuSig (like scheme Snorra or ECDSA) is used in its construction secret nonce, which should be generated at random. Any malfunction in this process leads to the loss of the secret key.
