Should we keep non-ZKP algorithms #103

Closed dwaite closed 2 months ago

dwaite commented 9 months ago

Per discussion in IETF 118 microphone comments, should we keep algorithms which do not have a reasonably inexpensive nonsinkable presentation.

Being able to represent and use non-ZKP algorithms is a forcing function that we're writing the specifications in widely-applicable manner. That doesn't mean that, in the end, we need to have the single-use algorithms be REQUIRED or even RECOMMENDED. But I'm loathe to rip them out now, because having multiple algorithms and multiple kinds of algorithms will help keep us honest.

Per discussions at IETF 120 in Vancouver, it makes sense to keep several algorithms in the specs to ensure that the representations we're using are flexible and general-purpose.
