Abstract

Polynomial Authentication and Signature Scheme (PASS) is a new public key authentication and signature scheme proposed by NTRU Cryptosystems Inc. It is based on the hard problems related to constrained polynomial evaluation. In this paper, we break PASS with the proposed parameters. We show how to forge valid authentication transcripts or digital signatures in PASS with knowledge of the public key only and without knowing any previous authentication transcripts or signatures.
