Comment (by qSKvY):

 How [in]secure is Tor's consensus agreement / voting stuff?
 A lot of the complexity in the DKG protocol seems to come from it solving
 the "agreement on a set problem".
 The directory authorities also face this problem when they're voting and
 agreeing on consensus documents.
 You might be able to simplify it quite a bit by piggybacking what Tor
 already has, perhaps through use of "extra-info documents".
