I have heard it said that ED25519 supports Schnorr multisignatures,
The Libsodium documentation contains no mention of multi signatures,
and, because ED25519 is nonprime group, it seems to me that implementing
Schnorr multisignatures would require an expert in the mathematics of
elliptic curves - I certainly have no idea how to even begin, and would
not trust code written by someone not well known.
Libsodium supports the prime group Ristretto255, though only in the
development version, not yet the stable version, with which a person of
ordinary skills could implement Schnorr multisignatures but it is not
apparent that this would play nice with LibSodium's built in high level
encryption and signing code.
So, should I forget about Schnorr multisignatures, and just do what
everyone else does: Tuples?
Or does Libsodium support multisignatures somewhere in the
documentation, and I have been looking in the wrong place?
