Recommendation for Stateful Hash-Based Signature Schemes

October 29, 2020
Author(s)
David Cooper, Daniel Apon, Quynh H. Dang, Michael S. Davidson, Morris Dworkin, Carl Miller
This recommendation specifies two algorithms that can be used to generate a digital signature, both of which are stateful hash-based signature schemes: the Leighton-Micali Signature (LMS) system and the eXtended Merkle Signature Scheme (XMSS), along with

NIST Roadmap Toward Criteria for Threshold Schemes for Cryptographic Primitives

July 7, 2020
Author(s)
Luis Brandao, Michael S. Davidson, Apostol T. Vassilev
This document constitutes a preparation toward devising criteria for the standardization of threshold schemes for cryptographic primitives by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The large diversity of possible threshold schemes, as

A Taxonomic Approach to Understanding Emerging Blockchain Identity Management Systems

January 14, 2020
Author(s)
Loic D. Lesavre, Priam C. Varin, Peter M. Mell, Michael S. Davidson, James Shook
Identity management systems (IDMSs) are widely used to provision user identities while managing authentication, authorization, and data sharing within organizations and on the web. Traditional identity systems typically suffer from single points of failure

Time to Standardize Threshold Schemes for Cryptographic Primitives

April 10, 2019
Author(s)
Luis Brandao, Michael S. Davidson, Nicky W. Mouha, Apostol T. Vassilev
This bulletin summarizes the information found in NISTIR 8214: Threshold Schemes for Cryptographic Primitives. NIST is interested in promoting the security of implementations of cryptographic primitives. This security depends not only on the theoretical
