I'm going to be a little pedantic here: the trick of using a PRF (hashing with a secret) to obtain the DSA nonce was not invented by Dan Bernstein. In the Ed25519 paper it's attributed to George Barwood and John Wigley in 1997. Also published in [2] around the same time.

That's not being pedantic, that's helpfully pointing out a fairly serious attribution error. Thanks! I will fix it.
