Demystifying Multivariate Cryptography

As the name suggests, multivariate cryptography refers to a class of public-key cryptographic schemes that use multivariate polynomials over a finite field. Solving systems of multivariate polynomials is known to be NP-complete, thus multivariate constructions are top contenders for post-quantum cryptography standards. In fact, 11 out of the 50 submissions for NIST’s call for additional […]
