Hi, This is a call to vote on the release of the Apache Milagro (incubating) MPC v0.1
The Apache Milagro (incubating) community has voted to approve this release with 5 +1 votes. The vote result thread can be found here: https://lists.apache.org/thread/y95lold2mt751w6z2g5cycr9dr1rjsjr Release tag for Incubator-milagro-MPC: https://github.com/apache/incubator-milagro-MPC/releases/tag/0.1 OVERVIEW libmpc is a modern cryptographic C library that implements Multi-Party Computation, or MPC. This library implements the primitives necessary to instantiate the multi-party ECDSA signature scheme provided in Gennaro and Goldfeder’s “Fast Multiparty Threshold ECDSA with Fast Trustless Setup” (GG18) (https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/114.pdf). GG18 consists of a multiparty threshold signature scheme which enables distributed signing among n players such that any subgroup of size t + 1 can sign, whereas any group with t or fewer players cannot. This scheme is proven secure for any t <= n and provides significant reduction of computation and communication complexity comparing to other existing schemes. NCC Group has conducted a security assessment of libmpc (https://research.nccgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/NCC_Group_Qredo_Apache_Milagro_MPC_Cryptographic_Review_2020-07-16_v1.3.pdf). RELEASE RATIONALE libmpc has been under development for several years now, and we consider it to be stable enough to have a first official release. With this release, we also introduce a modernised docker-first build-system that we would like to extend to other Apache Milagro releases. We have taken this step to better support the most diverse development and deployment environments currently used by the community. Please provide feedback if there is anything you would like to see happening next. As always, please see the README for build/test instructions, a list of contributors and guidelines on how to contribute yourself. The repo has the required DISCLAIMER, NOTICE and LICENSE file in its root directory. All source files have the appropriate license header. No binaries are included in this release. I have successfully built and ran the tests as per the instructions in the readme file.
