Practical Isogeny-Based Key-exchange with Optimal Tightness
Bor de Kock, Kristian Gjøsteen, and Mattia Veroni
Abstract
We exploit the Diffie-Hellman-like structure of CSIDH to build a quantum-resistant authenticated key-exchange algorithm. Our security proof has optimal tightness, which means that the protocol is efficient even when instantiated with theoretically-sound security parameters. Compared to previous isogeny-based authenticated key-exchange protocols, our scheme is extremely simple, its security relies only on the underlying CSIDH-problem and it has optimal communication complexity for CSIDH-based protocols. Our security proof relies heavily on the rerandomizability of CSIDH-like problems and carries on in the ROM.
Note: This paper, with minor modifications, will appear at SAC2020.
