# dkls23-core

[![Crates.io](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/dkls23-core.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/dkls23-core)
[![docs.rs](https://docs.rs/dkls23-core/badge.svg)](https://docs.rs/dkls23-core)

Curve-generic core implementation of the [DKLs23](https://eprint.iacr.org/2023/765.pdf) Threshold ECDSA protocol.

This crate provides the cryptographic primitives and protocol logic for:

- **Distributed Key Generation (DKG)** — generate key shares without a trusted dealer
- **Threshold Signing** — produce ECDSA signatures with a subset of parties
- **Key Refresh** — rotate key shares without changing the public key
- **BIP-32 Derivation** — derive child keys from a master key share

## Usage

This is the curve-generic core — most users should depend on a curve-specific crate instead:

- [`dkls23-secp256k1`](https://crates.io/crates/dkls23-secp256k1) — for Ethereum, Bitcoin, Cosmos, TRON
- [`dkls23-secp256r1`](https://crates.io/crates/dkls23-secp256r1) — for NEO3, Sui

Use `dkls23-core` directly only if you need to implement a custom curve via the `DklsCurve` trait.

```toml
[dependencies]
dkls23-core = "0.5"
```

## API Levels

- **High-level:** `DkgSession` and `SignSession` manage protocol state automatically
- **Low-level:** `phase1`–`phase4` functions and keep-state types for advanced resumable/stateless orchestration

For session orchestration, transport, and resumable flows, see [libtss](https://github.com/0xCarbon/libtss).
