Subject: Re: [bitcoin-dev] MuSig2 BIP
Date: Thu, 3 Nov 2022 14:43:22 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <0d4bb432-771d-8b8e-f2f8-f86dca9f41c5@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <576db60c-b05b-5b9a-75e5-9610f3e04eda@gmail.com>

We updated the MuSig2 BIP draft to fix the vulnerability published in an earlier
post [0].

We also wrote an article [1] that contains a description of
1. the vulnerable scheme (remember that the original MuSig2 scheme is not
    vulnerable because it doesn't allow tweaking)
2. an attack against the vulnerable scheme using Wagner's algorithm
3. a fixed scheme that permits tweaking

Moreover, we implemented the "BLLOR" attack mentioned in the article which
works against the reference python implementation of the previous version of the
MuSig2 BIP draft (takes about 7 minutes on my machine) [2].

The fix of the MuSig2 BIP is equivalent to the fix of the scheme in the article
[1]: before calling ''NonceGen'', the signer must determine the (potentially
tweaked) secret key it will use for this signature. BIP MuSig2 now ensures that
users can not accidentally violate this requirement by adding a mandatory public
key argument to ''NonceGen'', appending the public key to the ''secnonce'' array
and checking the public key against the secret key in ''Sign'' (see the pull
request for the detailed changes [3]).
