What math do I need to learn to grok Schnorr and other cryptographic signatures?
Discussion
I love when people heart questions, but there are no replies with answers.
I gotta get to Schnorr eventually but
Discrete Math, Number Theory, and Abstract Algebra are the keys to cryptography in general.
Inside of this, Finite Fields, Modulo Arithmetic, Division Algorithm (incl Euclidean Algorithm) and Chinese Remainder Theorem are big
Fuuuck. I have so much to learn. Any chance this is explainable over audio? I'd be down to rip a pod where I just ask you dumb math questions so we can level up and learn. I want to understand how signatures and such work so I can be a better dev. Specifically BLS and Schnoor are of interest. To understand fedimint and FROST, respectively.
I’m down 100% - high risk high reward here. Hit me up.
