modular-frost 0.8.0

Modular implementation of FROST over ff/group
Documentation
// FROST defines its nonce as sum(Di, Ei * bi)
// Monero needs not just the nonce over G however, yet also over H
// Then there is a signature (a modified Chaum Pedersen proof) using multiple nonces at once
//
// Accordingly, in order for this library to be robust, it supports generating an arbitrary amount
// of nonces, each against an arbitrary list of generators
//
// Each nonce remains of the form (d, e) and made into a proper nonce with d + (e * b)
// When representations across multiple generators are provided, a DLEq proof is also provided to
// confirm their integrity
