Title:
A short comment on the affine parts of SFLASH^{v3}

Authors: Willi Geiselmann, Rainer Steinwandt

Abstract:

In [SFLASHv3, a fast asymmetric signature scheme] SFLASH^{v3} is presented, which supersedes SFLASH^{v2}, one of the digital signature schemes in the NESSIE Portfolio of recommended cryptographic primitives. We show that a known attack against the affine parts of SFLASH^{v1} and SFLASH^{v2} carries over immediately to the new version SFLASH^{v3}: The 861 bit representing the affine parts of the secret key can easily be derived from the public key alone.
