DKG vs CKG in Private accounts #380

Open JesseAbram opened 1 year ago

JesseAbram commented 1 year ago

A CKG will add a new path requiring a user to bring their own mnemonic and then be able to recover their account with it after. A DKG will not

ameba23 commented 1 year ago

DKG has some security advantages at the cost of making recovery harder.

But maybe we can come up with a solution. Eg: validator node operators have some secure backup policy and actually use it, plus we have the redundancy from there being multiple validators holding copies of the same shares (if i've understood correctly). Then the user just needs to back up their share, in the same way they would need to back up their mnemonic with CKG.

@JesseAbram this issue doesn't really give much context to new readers. What exactly is the issue here/what are the next steps that need to be taken to resolve it?
