The SPHINCS+ Signature Framework

DJ Bernstein, A Hülsing, S Kölbl… - Proceedings of the …, 2019 - dl.acm.org
We introduce SPHINCS+, a stateless hash-based signature framework. SPHINCS+ has
significant advantages over the state of the art in terms of speed, signature size, and …

Improving stateless hash-based signatures

JP Aumasson, G Endignoux - Cryptographers' Track at the RSA …, 2018 - Springer
We present several optimizations to SPHINCS, a stateless hash-based signature scheme
proposed by Bernstein et al. in (2015): PORS, a more secure variant of the HORS few-time …

Mitigating multi-target attacks in hash-based signatures

A Hülsing, J Rijneveld, F Song - Public-Key Cryptography–PKC 2016: 19th …, 2016 - Springer
This work introduces XMSS-T, a new stateful hash-based signature scheme with tight
security. Previous hash-based signatures are facing a loss of security, linear in performance …

W-OTS+–shorter signatures for hash-based signature schemes

A Hülsing - Progress in Cryptology–AFRICACRYPT 2013: 6th …, 2013 - Springer
We present W-OTS+, a Winternitz type one-time signature scheme (W-OTS). We prove that
W-OTS+ is strongly unforgeable under chosen message attacks in the standard model. Our …

One-time signatures and chameleon hash functions

P Mohassel - Selected Areas in Cryptography: 17th International …, 2011 - Springer
In this work we show a general construction for transforming any chameleon hash function to
a strongly unforgeable one-time signature scheme. Combined with the result of [Bellare and …

Shorter signatures based on tailor-made minimalist symmetric-key crypto

C Dobraunig, D Kales, C Rechberger… - Proceedings of the …, 2022 - dl.acm.org
Signature schemes based on the MPC-in-the-head approach (MPCitH) have either been
designed by taking a proof system and selecting a suitable symmetric-key primitive (Picnic …

Banquet: short and fast signatures from AES

C Baum, CD de Saint Guilhem, D Kales… - … Conference on Public …, 2021 - Springer
This work introduces Banquet, a digital signature scheme with post-quantum security,
constructed using only symmetric-key primitives. The design is based on the MPC-in-head …

Horst Meets Fluid-SPN: Griffin for Zero-Knowledge Applications

L Grassi, Y Hao, C Rechberger, M Schofnegger… - Annual International …, 2023 - Springer
Zero-knowledge (ZK) applications form a large group of use cases in modern cryptography,
and recently gained in popularity due to novel proof systems. For many of these …

Optimal Parameters for XMSS MT

A Hülsing, L Rausch, J Buchmann - … , September 2-6, 2013. Proceedings 8, 2013 - Springer
Abstract We introduce Multi Tree XMSS (XMSS MT), a hash-based signature scheme that
can be used to sign a virtually unlimited number of messages. It is provably forward and …

On the security of the Winternitz one-time signature scheme

J Buchmann, E Dahmen, S Ereth… - … Journal of Applied …, 2013 - inderscienceonline.com
We show that the Winternitz one-time signature scheme is existentially unforgeable under
adaptive chosen message attacks when instantiated with a family of pseudorandom …
