Title:
Improved (Again) Key Pair Generation for Falcon, BAT and Hawk

Authors: Thomas Pornin

Abstract:

In this short note, we describe some further improvements to the key pair generation process for the Falcon and Hawk lattice-based signature schemes, and for the BAT key encapsulation scheme, in a fully constant-time way and without any use of floating-point operations. Our new code is slightly faster than our previous implementation, and, more importantly for small embedded systems, uses less RAM space.
