Estonian e-Identity keys sign using ECDSA on secp384r1. It's [unethical](https://twitter.com/jeffburdges/status/1382959262343696384) to place human identifying keys on a transparent blockchain of course, like say https://github.com/LogvinovLeon/estid-sig proposes, but people could've off-chain usages,...

There is clearly an interest in using arkworks from WASM, so eventually there should be an interest in using arkworks from WASM with the computationally intensive parts required by verifiers...

We invoke C code for SIMD in [galois_8.rs](https://github.com/darrenldl/reed-solomon-erasure/blob/master/src/galois_8.rs) but [galois_16.rs](https://github.com/darrenldl/reed-solomon-erasure/blob/master/src/galois_16.rs) merely uses galois_8.rs. There is an more bespoke approach to GF(2^16) in [Screaming Fast Galois Field Arithmetic Using Intel SIMD...

It's maybe too soon to consider this here, but.. There are a few recent standards that started including key committing AEADs, notable anything extremely low-entropy like OPAQUE. https://eprint.iacr.org/2017/664.pdf https://eprint.iacr.org/2020/1491.pdf https://eprint.iacr.org/2020/1153.pdf...

Rabin-Williams signatures are RSA-like signatures with extreme verifier speed optimizations, but enough overlap with RSA exists that maybe Rabin-Williams should be done inside this repository? Thoughts? Afaik, we've no off...

Are we concerned about item shadowing? Do we want lints that forbid shadowing? At a technical level, item shadowing might not create so many new threats per se, but they...

Also, you might notice a few more ideas about data one can generate at https://www.fakeaddressgenerator.com/ and https://www.fakepersongenerator.com/ i.e. stuff like IMEI. You might consider an interface that makes generating "valid"...

## Summary We should support verifier SRS points for public inputs being independent of the circuit and other SRS elements, but maybe only optionally so. ZEXE-like schemes could then be...

## Summary We should likely add batch verification like ZCash deployed eventually, and perhaps snarkpack. ## Proposal The ZCash issue https://github.com/zcash/librustzcash/issues/253#issuecomment-1026042373 has inbound links with further details. In this vein,...

I suppose this removes from handy instruacitons for participating in Alexander but really we need some new testnets. Image needs replacing too, maybe I shold've just deleted the old one...
