Bitcoin's Taproot upgrade, which introduced Schnorr signatures, is a prime example of how this cryptographic innovation is being harnessed to address real-world challenges blockchain networks face.10 Jan 2024
Next part is intriguing...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_LaMacchiaLaMacchia is currently the Executive Director of the MPC Alliance.
LaMacchia was previously [3] a Distinguished Engineer at Microsoft and headed the Security and Cryptography team within Microsoft Research (MSR).
His team’s main project was the development of quantum-resistant public-key cryptographic algorithms and protocols. Brian was also a founding member of the Microsoft Cryptography Review Board ....
previously he was the Director of Security and Cryptography in the Microsoft Extreme Computing Group.
He played a leading role in the design of XKMS,
the security architecture for .NET and Palladium.
He designed and led the development team for the .NET security....
LaMacchia was originally well known for his work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology establishing the MIT PGP Key Server,
the first key centric PKI implementation to see wide-scale use.
LaMacchia wrote the first Web interface for a PGP Key Server. He is a submitter of the Frodo post-quantum proposal[4] to the NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization[5] project.
Full Title
XML Key Management Specification (XKMS)
Description
XKMS specifies protocols for distributing and registering public keys for security within the SOAP protocol for Web Services. Part 1 comprises of 2 services. The XML Key Information Service (X-KISS) deals with the management of a public key pairs, with the key objective of minimising complexity of applications using XML Signauture. The XML Key Registration Service (X-KRSS) deals with the management of private keys. Part 2 comprises bindings for these services.
So the guy behind Public keys XKMS and knew Schnorr did a paper with........Satoshi Hada 2001....
