The Gennaro Distributed Key Generation Algorithm as described here

Protocol details

The protocol provided in this crate provides the following

• It will continue as long as there are enough participants a.k.a above the threshold
• Abort if the number of participants drops below the threshold

Malformed messages are not allowed and result in bad participants. Non-responsive participants are out of scope for this crate since this includes timeouts and retries which could be for a number of reasons: network latency, system crashes, etc. This is left to consumers as is handling the creation a secure channel to send data.

A good description of methods to do this can be found here.

In a nut shell:

1. Use Signal Protocol since this offers the highest security.
2. Use the latest version of TLS if you can rely on and trust PKI.
