The Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) is the elliptic curve analogue of the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) [2]. It is well known that the problem of discrete logarithm is NP-hard on group on elliptic curve (EC) [5]. The orders of groups of an algebraic affine and projective curves of Edwards [3, 9] over the finite field Fpn is studied by us. We research Edwards algebraic curves over a finite field, which are one of the most promising supports of sets of points which are used for fast group operations [1]. We construct a new method for counting the order of an Edwards curve [F ] d p E over a finite field Fp . It should be noted that this method can be applied to the order of elliptic curves due to the birational equivalence between elliptic curves and Edwards curves. The method we have proposed has much less complexity 22 O p log p at not large values p in comparison with the best Schoof basic algorithm with complexity 8 2 O(log pn ) , as well as a variant of the Schoof algorithm that uses fast arithmetic, which has complexity 42O(log pn ) , but works only for Elkis or Atkin primes. We not only find a specific set of coefficients with corresponding field characteristics for which these curves are supersingular, but we additionally find a general formula by which one can determine whether a curve [F ] d p E is supersingular over this field or not. The symmetric of the Edwards curve form and the parity of all degrees made it possible to represent the shape curves and apply the method of calculating the residual coincidences. A birational isomorphism between the Montgomery curve and the Edwards curve is also constructed. A oneto- one correspondence between the Edwards supersingular curves and Montgomery supersingular curves is established. The criterion of supersingularity for Edwards curves is found over F pn .

We consider problem of order counting of algebraic affine and projective curves of Edwards [2, 8] over the finite field $F_{p^n}$. The complexity of the discrete logarithm problem in the group of points of an elliptic curve depends on the order of this curve (ECDLP) [4, 20] depends on the order of this curve [10]. We research Edwards algebraic curves over a finite field, which are one of the most promising supports of sets of points which are used for fast group operations [1]. We construct a new method for counting the order of an Edwards curve over a finite field. It should be noted that this method can be applied to the order of elliptic curves due to the birational equivalence between elliptic curves and Edwards curves. We not only find a specific set of coefficients with corresponding field characteristics for which these curves are supersingular, but we additionally find a general formula by which one can determine whether a curve $E_d [F_p]$ is supersingular over this field or not. The embedding degree of the supersingular curve of Edwards over $F_{p^n}$ in a finite field is investigated and the field characteristic, where this degree is minimal, is found. A birational isomorphism between the Montgomery curve and the Edwards curve is also constructed. A one-to-one correspondence between the Edwards supersingular curves and Montgomery supersingular curves is established. The criterion of supersingularity for Edwards curves is found over $F_{p^n}$.

This chapter provides a very detailed introduction to cryptography. It first explains the cryptographic basics and introduces the concept of public-key encryption which is based on one-way and trapdoor functions, considering the three major public-key encryption families like integer factorization, discrete logarithm and elliptic curve schemes. This is followed by an introduction to hash functions which are applied to construct Merkle trees and digital signature schemes. As modern cryptoschemes are commonly based on elliptic curves, the chapter then introduces elliptic curve cryptography which is based on the Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem (ECDLP). It considers the hardness of the ECDLP and the possible attacks against it, showing how to find suitable domain parameters to construct cryptographically strong elliptic curves. This is followed by the discussion of elliptic curve domain parameters which are recommended by current standards. Finally, it introduces the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA), the elliptic curve digital signature scheme.

In this article, the main problems underlying the current asymmetric crypto algorithms for the formation and verification of electronic-digital signature are considered: problems of factorization of large integers and problems of discrete logarithm. It is noted that for the second problem, it is possible to use algebraic groups of points other than finite fields. The group of points of the elliptical curve, which satisfies all set requirements, looked attractive on this side. Aspects of the application of elliptic curves in cryptography and the possibilities offered by these algebraic groups in terms of computational efficiency and crypto-stability of algorithms were also considered. Information systems using elliptic curves, the keys have a shorter length than the algorithms above the finite fields. Theoretical directions of improvement of procedure of formation and verification of electronic-digital signature with the possibility of ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of information were considered. The proposed method is based on the Schnorr signature algorithm, which allows data to be recovered directly from the signature itself, similarly to RSA-like signature systems, and the amount of recoverable information is variable depending on the information message. As a result, the length of the signature itself, which is equal to the sum of the length of the end field over which the elliptic curve is determined, and the artificial excess redundancy provided to the hidden message was achieved.

Twisted Edwards Curve

We consider the algebraic affine and projective curves of Edwards over the finite field Fpn. It is well known that many modern cryptosystems can be naturally transformed into elliptic curves. The criterions of the supersingularity of Montgomery and Edwards curves are found. In this paper, we extend our previous research into those Edwards algebraic curves over a finite field and we construct birational isomorphism of them with cubic in Weierstrass normal form. One class of twisted Edwards is researched too. We propose a novel effective method of point counting for both Edwards and elliptic curves. In addition to finding a specific set of coefficients with corresponding field characteristics for which these curves are supersingular, we also find a general formula by which one can determine whether or not a curve Ed[Fp] is supersingular over this field. The method proposed has complexity O( p log2 2 p ) . This is an improvement over both Schoof’s basic algorithm and the variant which makes use of fast arithmetic (suitable for only the Elkis or Atkin primes numbers) with complexities O(log8 2 pn) and O(log4 2 pn) respectively. The embedding degree of the supersingular curve of Edwards over Fpn in a finite field is additionally investigated. Singular points of twisted Edwards curve are completely described. Due existing the birational isomorphism between twisted Edwards curve and elliptic curve in Weierstrass normal form the result about order of this curve over finite field is extended on cubic in Weierstrass normal form. Also it is considered minimum degree of an isogeny (distance) between curves of this two classes when such isogeny exists. We extend the existing isogenous of elliptic curves.

Post Quantum Cryptography

Traditionally, information security needed encryption, authentication, key management, non-repudiation and authorization which were being met using several techniques. Standardization of algorithms by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has facilitated international communication for banking and information transfer using these standards. Encryption can be carried out using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) using variable block lengths (128, 192 or 256 bits) and variable key lengths (128, 192 or 256 bits). Solutions for light weight applications such as those for Internet of Things (IoT) are also being standardized. Message integrity is possible using host of hash algorithms such as SHA-1, SHA-2 etc., and more recently using SHA-3 algorithm. Authentication is possible using well known Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) algorithm needing 2048/4096 bit operations. Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is also quite popular and used in several practical systems such as WhatsApp, Blackberry etc. Key exchange is possible using Diffie-Hellman algorithm and its variations. Digital Signatures can be carried out using RSA algorithm or Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) or DSA (Digital Signature Algorithm). All these algorithms derive security from difficulty in solving some mathematical problems such as factorization problem or discrete logarithm problem. Though published literature gives evidence of solving factorization problem upto 768 bits only, it is believed that using Quantum computers, these problems could be solved by the end of this decade. This is due to availability of the pioneering work of Shor and Grover [1]. For factoring an integer of N bits, Shor’s algorithm takes quantum gates. As such, there is ever growing interest in being ready for the next decade with algorithms that may resist attacks in the quantum computer era. NIST has foreseen this need and has invited proposals from researchers all over the world. In the first round, about 66 submissions were received which have been scrutinized for completeness of submissions , novelty of the approach and security and 25 of these were promote to second round to improve based on the comments received on the first round submission. These will be analyzed for security and some will be selected for final recommendation for use by industry. These are for encryption/decryption, key agreement, hashing and Digital Signatures for both hardware and software implementations. In this paper, we present a brief survey of the state of the art in post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) followed by study of one of technique referred to as Learning With Errors (LWE) in some detail.

In this work, we propose a proxy-protected proxy multi-signature scheme based on EllipticCurve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA), which aims at providing data authenticity,integrity, and non-repudiation to satisfy the basic properties of partial delegation proxy signaturedescribed by Mambo et al. as well as strong proxy signature properties defined byLee et. al. The proposed signing/verifying scheme combines the advantages of proxyprotectedsignature and multi-signature scheme. The security of the proposed schemes isbased on the difficulty of breaking the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem (ECDLP).The scheme proposed is faster and secure than the multi-signature based on factoring ordiscrete logarithm problem (DLP). The final multi-signature of a message can be verifiedindividually for each signer or collectively for a subgroup or entire group as well. Finally,the proposed proxy-protected proxy multi-signature schemes can be used in E-commerceand E-government application, which can be implemented using low power and small processingdevices.
