Auxiliary Isogeny Freedom in SQIsign's Two-Dimensional Representation

본문 미리보기

SQIsign encodes its response isogeny via a two-dimensional representation on a product of elliptic curves, using the Kani construction. We analyze the algebraic structure of this encoding in detail, with a focus on the role of the auxiliary isogeny and its implications for strong unforgeability. We show that the anti-isometry $\psi$ determining the Kani kernel is publicly computable from the torsion-point images of the component and auxiliary isogenies alone, that the automorphism orbi
