Overview

Run a NonceDKG and sign the supplied hash.

This is a simplified implementation. Later the DKG part can be run in advance, while waiting for transactions.

The general workflow is the following:

1. Start it upon activation of a step (last stateOutput is approved).
2. Exchange the underlying messages until: 2.1. ACSS Intermediate output is received.
3. Then wait for the ACS and then the VM to complete: 3.1. pass the ACS result to the nonce-dkg (to complete the nonces). 3.2. pass the VM output as a message to sign (its hash).
4. Exchange messages until the signature is produced.
5. Output the signature.

TODO: Make sure no two signatures are ever produced by the nonce-dkg for the same

base TX. That would reveal the permanent private key of the committee.
