Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Winternitz one-time signature (OTS) plays a core role in practical quantum-secure hash-based digital signature schemes. This study focuses on the security mechanism of Winternitz OTS and improves the scheme by introducing a novel fingerprinting function. The proposed fingerprinting function is a slight generalization of the zero-sum fingerprinting function that was proposed by the authors. It is shown that the generalization can improve the efficiency of the OTS while preserving the provable security. It is also shown that there is a simple and efficient algorithm for computing the fingerprinting function, and that the constructed OTS has the optimum efficiency among all Winternitz-style OTS.
