ePrint Report: A Total Break of the 3WISE Digital Signature Scheme

Daniel Smith-Tone

A new batch of ``complete and proper'' digital signature scheme submissions has recently been published by NIST as part of its process for establishing post-quantum cryptographic standards. This note communicates an attack on the 3WISE digital signature scheme that the submitters did not wish to withdraw after NIST communicated it to them.


While the 3WISE digital signature scheme is based on a collection of cubic maps which …
