Hi ZmnSCPxj,

Yes. It's not significantly different. It is unconditionally hiding
rather than binding (ElGamal is unconditionally binding). I just
thought of it while reading your post so I mentioned it. The real
question is what properties does the commitment scheme need to be
appropriate for MuSig R coin tossing?
In the security proof, the commitment hash is modelled as a random
oracle rather than as an abstract commitment scheme. I wonder if any
MuSig author has an opinion on whether the H_com interaction can be
generalised to a commitment scheme with certain properties (e.g
equivocal, extractable). By the looks of it, the random oracle is
never explicitly programmed except with randomly generated values so
maybe there is hope that a non ROM commitment scheme can do the job. I
guess the reduction would then be to either breaking the discrete
logarithm problem OR some property of the commitment scheme.

Cheers,

LL
