Abstract: In this talk, we will describe the design and implementation of a threshold ECDSA signing protocol. This protocol is currently being developed and integrated in the Internet Computer (IC) so as to allow Bitcoin and Ethereum transactions to be performed on the IC itself. We also report on vulnerabilities in ECDSA when combined with commonly used optimizations (such as key derivation and presignatures), as well as new techniques to mitigate against these vulnerabilties.
