Abstract(in English) Multivariate Public Key Cryptography (MPKC) is one of candidates of post-quantum cryptography. The Rainbow is a digital signature scheme in MPKC, whose encryption and decryption are relatively efficient. On the other hand, the security of MPKC depends on the difficulty of solving a system of multivariate polynomials, and the key length of MPKC becomes substantially large compared with that of RSA cryptosystem with the same security level. The size of public key of MPKC has been reduced by some previous papers, but there is no algorithm to reduce that of private key to the best of our knowledge. In this paper, we propose a variation of Rainbow using non-commutative rings (NC-Rainbow), and explain that the proposed scheme is able to reduce the private key size in comparison with the ordinary Rainbow of the same security level. In particular, the private key size of the proposed NC-Rainbow is reduced by about 75% in the security level of 80 bits.
