Ethereum Proposes Quantum-Safe Signature Scheme SPHINCS-
- Quantum-Safe Design: Ethereum researchers have proposed the SPHINCS- signature scheme aimed at enhancing wallet security by utilizing KECCAK256 instead of the standard SHAKE256, ensuring compatibility within the existing EVM and providing protection against future quantum computing threats.
- Efficiency Optimization: The C13 variant of SPHINCS- incurs approximately 127,000 gas for verification with a signature size of 3,704 bytes, demonstrating higher efficiency compared to SLH-DSA-SHA2-128-24's 142,000 gas and 3,856-byte signature, thereby reducing operational costs for wallets.
- Adjusted Signature Budget: The proposal limits the signature budget to between 2^14 and 2^20, optimizing for the needs of ordinary Ethereum addresses, reflecting an average of about 431 transactions per address annually since the Merge, thus enhancing wallet practicality.
- Hardware Compatibility Challenges: While the C11 and C12 variants are compatible with hardware wallets, signing times on the ST33K1M5 secure element are reported at 390 seconds and 47.5 seconds respectively, indicating that merely improving verification efficiency does not suffice to enhance user experience, highlighting the balance between security and convenience.
