This document describes and specifies the FAEST digital signature algorithm. It presents the underlying cryptographic components and specifies the building blocks used to construct the FAEST algorithm. The design of FAEST is intended to provide security against attacks by quantum computers by relying only on information-theoretic and symmetric-key cryptographic primitives. In particular, in addition to standard PRFs and PRGs for randomness derivation, the security of FAEST is tightly linked to the security of AES128, AES192 and AES256, based on which the NIST security categories 1, 3, and 5 are defined.

Abstract

This document describes and specifies the FAEST digital signature algorithm. It presents the underlying cryptographic components and specifies the building blocks used to construct the FAEST algorithm. The design of FAEST is intended to provide security against attacks by quantum computers by relying only on information-theoretic and symmetric-key cryptographic primitives. In particular, in addition to standard PRFs and PRGs for randomness derivation, the security of FAEST is tightly linked to the security of AES128, AES192 and AES256, based on which the NIST security categories 1, 3, and 5 are defined.
