Paper 2006/307
Note on Design Criteria for Rainbow-Type Multivariates
Jintai Ding and Lei Hu and Bo-Yin Yang and Jiun-Ming Chen
Abstract
This was a short note that deals with the design of Rainbow or ``stagewise unbalanced oil-and-vinegar'' multivariate signature schemes. We exhibit new cryptanalysis for current schemes that relates to flawed choices of system parameters in current schemes. These can be ameliorated according to an updated list of security design criteria.
Note: This paper is currently being reworked, and temporarily superceded by ePrint 2008/108. An update on new, actual TTS and Rainbow schemes and implementations will appear here soon.
