Hello,

We have published an updated version of our work "FROST: Flexible Round-Optimized Schnorr Threshold Signatures".

Our updated work presents a single protocol which can be used as a two-round signing protocol or optimized to a single signing round with preprocessing. Further, our updated protocol can be used either in a serial or parallelized setting, whereas our prior draft had two protocol variants, one which required being used strictly in a serial setting, and the other which required a more complex commitment protocol than our new version.

Our work can be found here: https://eprint.iacr.org/2020/852, with a more detailed description of our updates in Appendix B.

Best,
Chelsea
