Implementation of the Post-Quantum Cryptographic Algorithm: Multivariate Polynomial Public Key (MPPK)

The Multivariate Polynomial Digital Signature Scheme (MPPK-DS) is a new Post-Quantum cryptographic scheme that relies on the hardness of solving a set of multivariate polynomials. The scheme is an ideal candidate for the new NIST call for Post-Quantum digital signature algorithms that intents to diversify the post-quantum signature standards. In this project, we will work on proposing an optimized implementation for MPPK-DS on both ARM Cortex M4 as well as ARM Cortex M0 processors and present its benchmarking results from speed and memory perspectives. We also compare the performance parameters with the NIST’s standardized DS algorithms CRYSTALS-Dilithium, Falcon, and SPHINCS+.
