Specification

  • v1.1 covers the same protocol, but fixes some issues with the document:
    • Corrected performance tables. They listed the same times for signature and verification due to a bug in the script; signing time was reported faster (or sometimes slower) than real timings.
    • Corrected author order on front page.
    • Corrected description and security proofs for the one-way functions.
    • Revised security estimates for the one-way functions.
  • v1.0 was included in our round 1 submission to NIST.
