### An improved compression technique for signatures based on learning with errors

Shi Bai and Steven D. Galbraith

##### Abstract

We present a new approach to the compression technique of Lyubashevsky et al for lattice-based signatures based on learning with errors (LWE). Our ideas seem to be particularly suitable for signature schemes whose security, in the random oracle model, is based on standard worst-case computational assumptions. Our signatures are shorter than any previous proposal for provably-secure signatures based on standard lattice problems: at the 128-bit level we improve signature size from (more than) 16500 bits to around 9000 to 12000 bits.

Note: This is the full version of the paper, with additional proofs and information and discussion.
