SPHINCS$^+$ post-quantum digital signature scheme with Streebog hash function

Cryptography and Security 2020-06-30 v2

Abstract

Many commonly used public key cryptosystems will become insecure once a scalable quantum computer is built. New cryptographic schemes that can guarantee protection against attacks with quantum computers, so-called post-quantum algorithms, have emerged in recent decades. One of the most promising candidates for a post-quantum signature scheme is SPHINCS+^+, which is based on cryptographic hash functions. In this contribution, we analyze the use of the new Russian standardized hash function, known as Streebog, for the implementation of the SPHINCS+^+ signature scheme. We provide a performance comparison with SHA-256-based instantiation and give benchmarks for various sets of parameters.
