Storing Less in-the-Head: An Area-Efficient Hardware Architecture for SDitH-v2

본문 미리보기

In 2022, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) initiated a second call for post-quantum digital signature proposals to broaden algorithmic diversity beyond the already standardized schemes based on structured lattices and hashes. While five out of the 14 second-round entries were built on the MPC-in-the-Head paradigm, only two advanced into the recently announced third round. Despite their theoretical appeal, available results on their implementation costs imply a reduced app
