Can the difference be determined between two nonces k1, k2, having a linear relationship if the nonce and private key are unknown, i.e., k2 - k1 = n?
This is trivially broken.
Given:
(1) s1 = (z1 + r1d) / k1
(2) s2 = (z2 + r2d) / k2
(3) k2 = k1 + d
Substituting (3) into (2), eliminating k2:
(4) s2 = (z2 + r2d) / (k1 + d)
Solving (1) for k1:
(5)...
