Ok, as I understand it, zerocoin protocol is also based on math just as much as bitcoin. The formula is supposed to be c = gs hr (mod p) where c, g, h, p are known. When a zerocoin mint transaction occurs, it produces a signature 4 x 64 bytes. However, I am not able to find which part of the signature correlates to which number. The github coding annotation is also not helpful, as the noting of the signature says = params, coin, coin commintment, mhash. Could anyone please clarify me on this issues? I would like to understand how the math works behind the zerocoin protocol on my own transactions.

The Bitcoin network protocol was designed to be extremely flexible. It can be used to create timed transactions, escrow transactions, multi-signature transactions, etc. The current features of the client only hint at what will be possible in the future.

I cannot help you with this one, unfortunately, but I am commenting to keep your topic on top. Why? Because your question is actually 1/100 with some substance. Good luck in finding your answer.
