Шаблон:Short description Falcon is a post-quantum signature scheme selected by the NIST at the fourth round of the post-quantum standardisation process. It has been designed by Thomas Prest, Pierre-Alain Fouque, Jeffrey Hoffstein, Paul Kirchner, Vadim Lyubashevsky, Thomas Pornin, Thomas Ricosset, Gregor Seiler, William Whyte and Zhenfei Zhang.Шаблон:RefШаблон:RefШаблон:Ref It relies on the hash-and-sign technique over the Gentry, Peikert and Vaikuntanathan frameworkШаблон:Ref over NTRU lattices. The name Falcon is an acronym for Fast Fourier lattice-based compact signatures over NTRU.

Properties

The design rationale of Falcon takes advantage of multiple tools to ensure compactness and efficiency with provable security. To achieve this goal, the use of a NTRU lattice allows the size of the signatures and public-key to be relatively small, while fast Fourier sampling permits efficient signature computations.Шаблон:Ref

From a security point of view, the Gentry, Peikert and Vaikuntanathan framework enjoys a security reduction in the Quantum Random Oracle Model.Шаблон:Ref

Implementations and Performances

The authors of Falcon provide a reference implementation in CШаблон:Ref as required by the NISTШаблон:Ref and one in Python for simplicity.Шаблон:Ref

The set of parameters suggested by Falcon imply signatures of size 666 bytes for the NIST security level 1 (security comparable to breaking AES-128 bits). The key generation can be performed in 8.64 ms with a throughput of approximatively 6,000 signature per second and 28,000 verifications per second.Шаблон:Ref

On the other hand, the NIST security level 5 (comparable to breaking AES-256) requires signature of 1,280 bytes, a key generation under 28 ms and a throughput of 2,900 signatures per second and 13,650 verifications per second.Шаблон:Ref
