Schnorr sigs vs pairing sigs



Summary:

Schnorr sigs are dependent on the masking provided by a random nonce. However, there are several simple ways to introduce bias, such as hash + modulo. Even 2 bits of bias can lead to serious attacks, as stated in a presentation given at ECC2017. As a result, it may be beneficial to consider pairing based signatures, which although slower than Schnorr sigs, could potentially offer more flexibility and better security implementations.
