The term "Schnorr group" typically refers to a specific type of mathematical structure used in the context of efficient digital signature schemes, namely the Schnorr signature scheme. Introduced by Claus-Peter Schnorr in the 1980s, Schnorr signatures are based on the hardness of the discrete logarithm problem in certain groups, particularly cyclic groups.
