A Framework for Efficient Lattice-Based DAA

Abstract

Currently standardized Direct Anonymous Attestation (DAA) schemes have their security based on the factoring and the discrete logarithm problems, and are therefore insecure against quantum attackers. This paper presents a quantum-safe lattice-based Direct Anonymous Attestation protocol that can be suitable for inclusion in a future quantum-resistant TPM. The security of our proposed scheme is proved in the Universal Composability (UC) model under the assumed hardness of the Ring-SIS, Ring-LWE, and NTRU problems. The signature size of our proposed DAA scheme is around 2MB, which is (at least) two orders of magnitude smaller compared to existing post-quantum DAA schemes.
