Mithril protocol

This section explains the Mithril protocol, which serves as the foundational cryptographic framework for the system. It outlines the processes for creating and verifying multi-signatures, enabling secure and efficient blockchain data validation. By leveraging a stake-based threshold signature scheme, the Mithril protocol ensures scalability, decentralization, and integrity within the network.

📄️ Protocol phases

Mithril is based on the research paper Mithril: Stake-based Threshold Multisignatures.

📄️ Certificate chain design

Introduction

📄️ Protocol security

This document presents a comprehensive security analysis of Mithril, examining potential threats and the protocol’s defenses against various attack vectors. It starts with an overview of the STM protocol and the adversarial model, followed by an in-depth discussion of security measures against common cryptographic attacks. The document concludes with an analysis of parameter selection, highlighting trade-offs between security and efficiency through practical examples.
