Title:
A Faster Software Implementation of SQISign

Authors: Kaizhan Lin, Weize Wang, Zheng Xu, Chang-An Zhao

Abstract:

Isogeny-based cryptography is famous for its short key size. As one of the most compact digital signatures, SQISign (Short Quaternion and Isogeny Signature) is attractive among post-quantum cryptography, but it is ineffcient compared to other post-quantum competitors because of complicated procedures in ideal to isogeny translation, which is the effciency bottleneck of the signing phase.
In this paper, we recall the current implementation of SQISign and
mainly discuss how to improve the execution of ideal to isogeny translation in SQISign. To be precise, we modify the SigningKLPT algorithm to accelerate the performance of generating the ideal I_\sigma. In addition, we explore how to save one of the two elliptic curve discrete logarithms and compute the remainder with the help of the reduced Tate pairing correctly and effciently. We speed up other procedures in ideal to isogeny translation with various techniques as well. It should be noted that our improvements also benefit the performances of key generation and verification in SQISign. In particular, in the instantiation with p3923 the improvements lead to a speedup of 8.82%, 8.50% and 18.94% for key generation, signature and verification, respectively
