I'll close the loop on this w/ Christopher Allen, who works at Blockstream. We'll be collaborating on this and other things at the next Rebooting Web of Trust 4 Workshop in Paris at the end of April: http://www.weboftrust.info/next-event-page.html > In all of my personal and professional work we are using EdDSA, which > is a Schnorr scheme and standardized in RFC 8032. I've raised an issue to implement this: https://github.com/digitalbazaar/jsonld-signatures/issues/21 I don't expect it to be done any time soon, as we're heads down on other things, but demand for it is rising and as soon as we get an implementation in Forge, we can move forward with it in the Linked Data Signatures stuff. -- manu -- Manu Sporny (skype: msporny, twitter: manusporny, G+: +Manu Sporny) Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: Rebalancing How the Web is Built http://manu.sporny.org/2016/rebalancing/
