Non interactive anti-exfil (airgap compatible)

This protocol leaves very low bandwith attacks open via churning the final nonce point. It’s pretty expensive for a low power device to keep churning double point multiplications along with hashes; the device also needs to remember which parts of the seed it had leaked, which might not even be possible with only a firmware modification; or do some message based pseudo random indexing scheme which further increases the difficulty.

And a single factory or user validation test that checks the generation of Q is up to spec would catch it immediately (similar to RFC6979). With low bandwith leaks the low probability random attack is not likely to be viable, and the risk of getting caught on a routine test is very high if the attack is “always on”.

(there is ongoing discussion about adding additional proof of work to further decrease the bandwith or make it impractical and/or the time to generate a signature along with the power draw could be used to detect nonce churning where the hw capabilities are known like firmware attacks)
