Title:
The Lattice-Based Digital Signature Scheme qTESLA

Authors: Erdem Alkim, Paulo S. L. M. Barreto, Nina Bindel, Juliane Kramer, Patrick Longa, Jefferson E. Ricardini

Abstract:

We present qTESLA, a family of post-quantum digital signature schemes that exhibits several attractive features such as simplicity and strong security guarantees against quantum adversaries, and built-in protection against certain side-channel and fault attacks. qTESLA—selected for round 2 of NIST’s post-quantum cryptography standardization project—consolidates a series of recent schemes originating in works by Lyubashevsky, and Bai and Galbraith. We provide full-fledged, constant-time portable C implementations that showcase the code compactness of the proposed scheme, e.g., our code requires only about 300 lines of C code. Finally, we also provide AVX2-optimized assembly implementations that achieve a factor-1.5 speedup.
