Abstract
Improvements to post-quantum lattice-based digital signature schemes are disclosed. By sampling cryptographic material, including cryptographic key matrices and masking vectors from a uniform distribution, embodiments eliminate the need for a security check during generation of a digital signature vector. As a result, digital signatures can be generated faster and at a lower failure rate. A generating device can generate a verification matrix A and a secret matrix S from a uniform distribution, and an error matrix E from a special distribution (such as a Gaussian). The generating device can combine the three matrices to generate a public matrix Y. The first and the fourth matrices (A, Y) can be used as a public key used to verify digital signatures. The second and the third matrices (S, E) can be used as a private key used to generate digital signatures.
