Flood and submerse: Distributed Key Generation and Robust Threshold Signature from Lattices
We propose a new framework based on random submersions for constructing verifiable short secret sharing and showcase it to construct efficient threshold lattice-based signatures in the hash-and-sign paradigm, when based on noise flooding.

Two-Round Threshold Signature from Algebraic One-More Learning with Errors
In this work, we construct the first efficient two-round lattice-based threshold signature without relying on FHE or HTDC.

On Gaussian sampling, smoothing parameter and application to signatures
We present a general framework for polynomial-time lattice Gaussian sampling. Using our techniques, we gain around 200 bytes (>20%) on the signature size.

WrapQ: Side-Channel Secure Key Management for Post-quantum Cryptography
In this work, we study key handling techniques used in real-life secure Kyber and Dilithium hardware. We describe WrapQ, a masking-friendly key-wrapping mechanism designed for lattice cryptography.

Finding Short Integer Solutions When the Modulus Is Small
We present cryptanalysis of the inhomogenous short integer solution problem for anomalously small moduli q by exploiting the geometry of BKZ reduced bases of q-ary lattices.

Snowblind: A Threshold Blind Signature in Pairing-Free Groups
Both threshold and blind signatures have, individually, received a considerable amount of attention. However little is known about their combination.
