Convenience and security of one key pair for Diffie-Hellman and signing #72

Closed marco-tiloca-sics closed 3 years ago

marco-tiloca-sics commented 3 years ago

Elaborate on the convenience together with the security [DeGabriele] of using the same key pair for Diffie-Hellman (in pairwise mode) and for signing (in group mode). This can extend the text in Section 10.13 "Cryptographic Considerations".

This was addressed in v -12 through the commits above, building on [1] and adapting the derivation of pairwise keys accordingly. Followed-up by issue #73
