Assignment Task

Introduction

We present the digital signature scheme Dilithium, whose security is based on the hardness of finding short vectors in lattices. Our scheme was designed with the following criteria in mind: Simple to implement securely. The most compact lattice-based signature schemes [DDLL13, DLP14] crucially require the generation of secret randomness from the discrete Gaussian distribution. Generating such samples in a way that is secure against side-channel attacks is highly non-trivial and can easily lead to insecure implementations, as demonstrated in [BHLY16, EFGT17, PBY17]. While it may be possible that a very careful implementation can prevent such attacks, it is unreasonable to assume that a universally-deployed scheme containing many subtleties will always be expertly implemented. Dilithium therefore only uses uniform sampling, as was originally proposed for signatures in [Lyu09, GLP12]. Furthermore, all other operations (such as polynomial multiplication and rounding) are easily implemented in constant time. Be conservative with parameters. Since we are aiming for long-term security, we have analyzed the applicability of lattice attacks from a very favorable, to the attacker, viewpoint. In particular, we are considering (quantum) algorithms whose space requirements are on the same order as the time ones. Such algorithms are currently unrealistic, and there seem to be serious obstacles in removing the space requirement, but we are allowing for the possibility that improvements may occur in the future. Minimize the size of public key + signature. Since many applications require the transmission of both the public key and the signature (e.g. certificate chains), we designed our scheme to minimize the sum of these parameters. Under the restriction that we avoid (discrete) Gaussian sampling, to the best of our knowledge, Dilithium has the smallest combination of signature and public key sizes of any lattice-based scheme with the same security levels.

The basic template in Fig. 1 is rather inefficient, as is. The most glaring (but trivially fixed) inefficiency is that the public key consists of a matrix of k · ` polynomials, which could have a rather large representation. The fix is simply to have A generated from some seed ρ using SHAKE-128, and this is a standard technique. The public key is therefore (ρ, t) and its size is dominated by t. The novelty of Dilithium over the previous schemes (e.g. [BG14] and qTESLA [ABB+19], which is a particular instantiation of the [BG14] framework) is that we also shrink the bit-representation size of t by a factor slightly larger than two at the expense of increasing the signature by less than 100 bytes.
