Crypto Reading Group -Bruno Sterner-Loquat: Post-quantum signature from the Legendre PRF
| Speaker | Bruno Sterner |
| Affiliation | University of Waterloo |
| Location | MC 5479 |
Abstract: We give an overview of a new Legendre-based signature scheme called Loquat that is friendly for SNARK-based applications. While we primarily focus on the constructive applications, we also discuss the historical context, security and cryptanalysis of the Legendre PRF. The primary content of the talk is based on ia.cr/2024/868.
