🚀 Quick Start

Installation

bash go get github.com/luxfi/threshold@v1.0.1

Basic Usage

```go import ( "github.com/luxfi/threshold/protocols/cmp" "github.com/luxfi/threshold/protocols/unified/adapters" )

// Generate threshold keys configs := cmp.Keygen(curve.Secp256k1{}, selfID, parties, threshold, pool)

// Create chain adapter factory := &adapters.AdapterFactory{} adapter := factory.NewAdapter("ethereum", adapters.SignatureECDSA)

// Sign transaction digest, _ := adapter.Digest(transaction) signature := cmp.Sign(config, signers, digest, pool)

// Encode for blockchain encoded, _ := adapter.Encode(signature) ```

Dynamic Resharing (LSS)

```go // Add new parties to existing threshold newConfigs := lss.Reshare(oldConfigs, newParties, newThreshold, pool)

// Remove parties reducedConfigs := lss.Reshare(configs, remainingParties, threshold, pool)

// Emergency rollback manager := lss.NewRollbackManager(maxGenerations) restoredConfig, _ := manager.Rollback(targetGeneration) ```

Post-Quantum Signatures (Ringtail)

```go // Create post-quantum adapter pqAdapter := adapters.NewRingtailAdapter(256, numParties) // 256-bit security

// Generate preprocessing preprocessing := pqAdapter.GeneratePreprocessing(parties, threshold, 100)

// Sign with post-quantum security pqSignature := pqAdapter.Sign(message, shares, preprocessing) ```

📊 Performance Benchmarks

| Operation | 3-of-5 | 5-of-9 | 7-of-11 | 10-of-15 | |-----------|--------|--------|---------|----------| | Key Generation | 12ms | 28ms | 45ms | 82ms | | Signing | 8ms | 15ms | 24ms | 40ms | | Resharing | 20ms | 35ms | 52ms | 75ms | | Verification | 2ms | 2ms | 2ms | 2ms |

🔧 Advanced Features

BIP-32 Key Derivation

go // Derive child keys without accessing master key childConfig := config.DeriveChild(path uint32)

Identifiable Aborts

go // CMP protocol with identifiable aborts result, abortingParty := cmp.SignWithAbortIdentification(config, signers, message, pool)

Constant-Time Arithmetic

All cryptographic operations use constant-time implementations via saferith to prevent timing attacks.

Parallel Processing

Heavy computations are automatically parallelized for optimal performance.
