Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Multivariate Public Key Cryptography (MPKC) is of candidates of post-quantum cryptography. The Rainbow is a digital signature scheme in MPKC, whose encryption and decryption are relatively efficient. However, the key size of MPKC becomes substantially large compared with that of RSA cryptosystem with the same security level. In this paper, we propose a variation of Rainbow which reduces the size of secret key. The reduction of the secret key is due to different description of quadratic polynomials appearing in the secret key from that of the original Rainbow. In addition, our scheme improves the efficiency of the signature generation of Rainbow. In particular, the secret key size of the proposed NC-Rainbow is reduced by about 40% and the signature generation speeds up by about 30% in the security level of 100 bits.
