karlgluck / Hash Ladders for Shorter Lamport Signatures.md
Last active March 31, 2024 17:53
I describe a method for making Lamport signatures take up less space. I haven't seen anyone use hash chains this way before, so I think it's pretty cool.

What's this all about?

Digital cryptography! This is a subject I've been interested in since taking a class with Prof. Fred Schneider back in college. Articles pop up on Hacker News fairly often that pique my interest and this technique is the result of one of them.

Specifically, this is about Lamport signatures. There are many signature algorithms (ECDSA and RSA are the most commonly used) but Lamport signatures are unique because they are formed using a hash function. Many cryptographers believe that this makes them resistant to attacks made possible by quantum computers.

How does a Lamport Signature work?

With NSNotificationCenter you post notifications with a name like MyNotification.
Observer subscribes to this name with some selector like myNotification:
To make things easier and less verbose, we won't declare notification names, but only the selectors.
