Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A hash-based digital signature is a quantum-immune alternative of conventional digital signatures. This study improves a well-recognized Winternitz hash-based signature scheme by introducing a puncturing mechanism of signing keys. It is shown that the proposed scheme is strongly existential unforgeable, and has greater degree of freedom on the choice of design parameters. Numerical evaluation shows that the proposed scheme contributes to reduce both of the signature size and computational burden that are needed for sign and verification of signatures.
