I'm trying to gauge interest on the IRTF's CFRG mailing list regarding collaborating on a draft for a standard Ed25519 hierarchical derivation / key blinding scheme:
The post makes several mentions of Tor's work in the space in regard to the next-generation hidden services design.
I think it'd be great if Tor were to collaborate on the design of such a scheme and adopt it for the new hidden services design. I see a lot of convergent evolution in this space and think it would be great if there were a single standard everyone could implement.
Even if you don't, I think there are some ideas from similar schemes Tor should fold back into its own design, particularly in regard to how certain bits of the private scalar are "clamped". Some discussion of that here:
