I'm quite amused that ML-DSA-44 public keys are 1312 bytes.

@soatok bytes? idk but that's a really fucking long key, no?

@ic5146 Why do you think Merkle Tree Certificates are a thing?

PQC is bandwidth-heavy for crypto

A look at the latest post-quantum signature standardization candidates

NIST has standardized four post-quantum signature schemes so far, and they’re not done yet: there are fourteen new candidates in the running for standardization. In this blog post we take measure of them and discover why we ended up with so many PQ signatures.

@soatok honestly i don't have that much knowledge about post-quantum crypto, so i wouldn't know

just used to good ole sha256 keys and ed25519 keys lol

@soatok I appreciate that cryptography necessarily uses complex language and analogies to describe complexity, but I'm still thrown by names like the "unbalanced oil and vinegar" scheme.

I now wish to believe that that scheme was devised after a particularly disastrous salad tossing exercise.

We’re going to look back at the beautiful days of the Edward’s curve, when it was easier to inline a key than hash it, with great longing and nostalgia.

@soatok that... That can't be a coincidence, can it?
Show threadSoatok Dreamseeker15h ago

@gothpanda I mean, it's a 32 byte commitment from the private key and 1280 bytes of the upper bits of vector t (where t = A*s + e, with e being an error vector).

For larger parameter sizes (-65, -87), the second segment is larger but the commitment remains 32 bytes.
