Master Thesis
Implementation of a Threshold Post-Quantum Signature Scheme
With the recent advancements regarding a fully functional quantum computer, the necessity for cryptography which remains secure even against the quantum computer, is more vital than ever before. This thesis focuses in the implementation on Dilithium [1], main candidate for standardization of post-quantum signatures in the NIST competition, in a threshold [2] setup.
The first part of this thesis consists of the understanding of Dilithium, from a practical perspective. The second part of the thesis consists of implementing a threshold variant of Dilithium using a library for Multi-party computation (MPC).
Requirements: basic algebra, knowledge of secure cryptographic protocols [2].
