Abstract

In a recent ePrint, Brown and Monico propose new attacks on the tropical signature scheme of Chen, Grigoriev and Shpilrain. This note provides a new countermeasures against those attacks. Thereby, we (temporarily?) shift the fire from the signature algorithm to redirect attacks on the key and on tropical polynomial factorization.
