Plain English section titles #244

Closed andrewwhitehead closed 1 year ago

andrewwhitehead commented 1 year ago

This is a bit subjective, but I think we should adopt plain English titles for (sub)sections in the draft rather than using function names.

At the moment section 3 looks like this:

3.1.  Parameters
3.2.  Considerations
  3.2.1.  Subgroup Selection
  3.2.2.  Messages and generators
  3.2.3.  Serializing to octet strings
3.3.  Key Generation Operations
  3.3.1.  KeyGen
  3.3.2.  SkToPk
3.4.  Core Operations
  3.4.1.  Sign
  3.4.2.  Verify
  3.4.3.  ProofGen
  3.4.4.  ProofVerify

An updated version might look like this:

3.1.  Parameters
3.2.  Considerations
  3.2.1.  Subgroup Selection
  3.2.2.  Messages and generators
  3.2.3.  Serializing to octet strings
3.3.  Key Generation Operations
  3.3.1.  Secret Key Generation
  3.3.2.  Public Key Calculation
3.4.  Core Operations
  3.4.1.  Signing
  3.4.2.  Signature Verification
  3.4.3.  Proof Generation
  3.4.4.  Proof Verification

For comparison the VOPRF draft.

Im supportive of this direction I think it improves the readability of the specification.
