This Python Jupyter Notebook provides an educational implementation of the FROST (Flexible Round-Optimized Schnorr Threshold) cryptographic protocol. FROST is a protocol that enables secure multi-party threshold digital signatures.
Please note that this implementation is not meant for production use and is intended solely for educational purposes. It serves as a basic example to help understand the concepts of the FROST protocol and its implementation. Use it at your own risk and discretion.

FROST (Flexible Round-Optimized Schnorr Threshold) is a cryptographic protocol that allows multiple parties to collaboratively sign a message while maintaining security against various types of attacks. It utilizes threshold cryptography, where a signature can be generated only when a threshold number of parties cooperate.
