Title:
MPCitH Signature from Restricted Syndrome Decoding

Authors: Michele Battagliola, Ethan Chen, Hugo Sauerbier Couvée, Violetta Weger

Abstract:

Abstract. CROSS is a code-based signature based on the Restricted Syndrome Decoding Problem (R-SDP) that is currently among the fourteen candidates in the NIST standardization process. While CROSS enjoys a very competitive verification time, its primary drawback is its significantly large signature size. In this work, we introduce a new Multi-Party Computation in the Head (MPCitH) protocol for the R-SDP with the primary goal of reducing CROSS signature size. To do so, we design a publicly verifiable secret sharing scheme tailored for restricted vectors and a new multiplicative-to-additive conversion for it. These new cryptographic gadgets may be of independent interest as they can serve as building blocks for future research in multi-party computation, such as a threshold version of CROSS.
