TII Involvement in NIST PQC Standardization

In collaborations with its partners, TII has been involved in 7 submissions to the NIST standardization of additional digital signature schemes project including 6 out of the 14 schemes that are currently considered in the Round 2.

Schemes in Round 2

  1. LESS - A signature scheme based on the Linear Equivalence Problem (LEP).
  2. Mirath - A signature scheme based on the Minrank problem resulting from the merge of MIRA and MiRitH.
  3. PERK - A signature scheme based on the Permutation Kernel Problem (PKP).
  4. RYDE - A signature scheme based on the Rank Syndrome Decoding (RSD) problem.
  5. SDitH - A signature scheme based on the Syndrome Decoding (SD) problem.
  6. SQISign - A signature scheme based on Isogeny related problems.

Schemes from Round 1

  1. Biscuit - A signature scheme based on the Multivariate Quadratic (MQ) problem.
