Presentation

Merkle Tree Ladder Mode: Reducing the Size Impact of NIST PQC Signature Algorithms in Practice

December 1, 2022

Presenters

Burt Kaliski - Verisign

Description

We introduce the Merkle Tree Ladder (MTL) mode of operation for signature schemes. MTL mode signs messages using an underlying signature scheme in such a way that the resulting signatures are condensable: a set of MTL mode signatures can be conveyed from a signer to a verifier in fewer bits than if the MTL mode signatures were sent individually.
