Abstract

A major drawback of nearly all currently existing digital signature schemes is their computational requirements. Fast algorithms exist for PCs or hardware accelerated smart cards, but not for low-end embedded devices which are found in e.g. sensor networks. Such algorithms are also necessary for introduction of inexpensive signature creation devices to the civil sphere. Our purpose is to analyze a class of problems that are based on graph theoretic problems instead of modular arithmetics, and to provide very fast signature creation for embedded systems at the cost of somewhat longer signatures.
