This document specifies the conventions for using the Walnut Digital Signature Algorithm (WalnutDSA) for digital signatures with the CBOR Object Signing and Encryption (COSE) syntax. WalnutDSA is a lightweight, quantum-resistant signature scheme based on Group Theoretic Cryptography (see [WALNUTDSA] and [WALNUTSPEC]) with implementation and computational efficiency of signature verification in constrained environments, even on 8- and 16-bit platforms.

Randomness Requirements for Security

TLDR
This document recommends the use of truly random hardware techniques and shows that the existing hardware on many systems can be used for this purpose and provides suggestions to ameliorate the problem when a hardware solution is not available.

TLDR
Efficient randomized algorithms are given for factoring integers and finding discrete logarithms, two problems that are generally thought to be hard on classical computers and that have been used as the basis of several proposed cryptosystems.

Group Theoretic Cryptography

TLDR
The book evidences how group theoretic techniques help us gain new insight into well known, seemingly unrelated, cryptographic constructions, such as DES, and supplies formal security analyses and highlights potential vulnerabilities for cryptography constructions involving group theory.

TLDR
This document aims to reduce the ambiguity by clarifying that only UPPERCASE usage of the key words have the defined special meanings.

Quantum Computing

TLDR
By harnessing such natural behavior (of qubits), quantum computing can run new, complex algorithms to process information more holistically and may one day lead to revolutionary breakthroughs in materials and drug discovery, the optimization of complex manmade systems, and artificial intelligence.
