Simulate a Distributed Key Generation (for the B-L-S group signature scheme) round, using goroutines

Pedersen DKG in Go

Simulate a Pedersen DKG (for a Boneh-Lynn Shacham group signature scheme) protocol round in your computer, using goroutines as DKG participants. This is far from perfect ; see at the top of dkg.go.

How to run

First, you need to build and install https://github.com/herumi/bls (and all its dependencies). This project does not currently have a "install" target in the Makefile, so you can't just "make install". You need to put all the necessary libraries yourself in the right place, as well as their headers. Respectively, this means /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include/.

Once this has been done, copy the ffi/go/bls folder aside dkg.go. You may now go run dkg.go. If you wish to set the threshold and total participant count, go run dkg.go T C, where T is threshold and C the total.
