14.2 Schnorr Signatures are More Elegant than ECDSA || Lloyd Fournier
Wasabi Wallet
Lloyd Fournier contrasts ECDSA (secure but ad-hoc, designed by Tahir El Gamal as random multiplications) with Schnorr signatures. Schnorr is rooted in deeper cryptographic principles: it's the simplest sigma protocol, a fundamental construct appearing throughout cryptography. Unlike ECDSA's arbitrary design, Schnorr follows from first principles.
