Abstract

Balanced Oil and Vinegar signature schemes and the unbalanced Oil and Vinegar signature schemes are public key signature schemes based on multivariable polynomials. In this paper, we suggest a new signature scheme, which is a generalization of the Oil-Vinegar construction to improve the efficiency of the unbalanced Oil and Vinegar signature scheme. The basic idea can be described as a construction of multi-layer Oil-Vinegar construction and its generalization. We call our system a Rainbow signature scheme. We propose and implement a practical scheme, which works better than Sflashv2, in particular, in terms of signature generating time.
