MiniPASS: Authentication and Digital Signatures in a Constrained Environment

Jeffrey Hoffstein, Joseph H. Silverman · Lecture notes in computer science · 2000

We describe an implementation of the PASS polynomial authentication and signature scheme [ 5 ],[ 6 ] that is suitable for use in highly constrained environments such as smart cards and wireless applications. The algorithm underlying the PASS scheme, as described in [ 5 ],[ 6 ], already features high speed and a small footprint, and these are further enhanced by transferring computational overhead to the server to the extent possible. We also describe timing and footprint results from a prototype implementation. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
