Suggestion for distributed key management and recovery.

Hi all,

Would love to explore if this is something we can incorporate for key signing and recovery for identities.

I had a good conversation with these guys after a Capital Factory event. There is some related community work, in particular multisig / threshold crypto for DID Authentication:

w3c/did-core#2

@burntorange89 can you add the specific signature mechanisms (with reference implementation links) to this ticket if possible?

When attempting to address the auth ticket above, I started looking at: https://github.com/Turing-Chain/TSSKit-Threshold-Signature-Scheme-Toolkit

But could not figure out how to present the key material needed to propose a JSON format for threshold auth... that is what is required to integrate this. We need a way to represent threshold public keys in a DID Document, and a way to represent a threshold signature.

If both use secp256k1 its possible this could be directly applied to did:ion and did:elem.

Here is some additional research and reference projects that @burntorange89 did for the solution for the communities reference.

The linked research papers at the end I believe will provide some insight?

This is stale, you can do this with sidetree... non actionable.
