[Taler] Question on Purpose of RSA Blind Signatures

Hash: SHA256

Hello GNU Taler Mailing List,


I was reviewing documentation on GNU Taler from the following reference:


HAL Id: tel-02138082


https://tel.archives-ouvertes.fr/tel-02138082


I am confused as to why the GNU Taler developers chose to use RSA blind 
signatures over--say--using



EDDSA signatures.



What comparative advantage would RSA-blind FDH signatures have over modern 
elliptic-curve


based signatures such as Ed25519 for the purposes of GNU Taler.


I thank anyone for any responses sent back to me.


Sincerely,


Tanveer Salim
