Class BCRainbowPrivateKey

java.lang.Object

org.bouncycastle.pqc.jcajce.provider.rainbow.BCRainbowPrivateKey

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.security.Key, java.security.PrivateKey

public class BCRainbowPrivateKey
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.security.PrivateKey

The Private key in Rainbow consists of the linear affine maps L1, L2 and the map F, consisting of quadratic polynomials. In this implementation, we denote: L1 = A1*x + b1 L2 = A2*x + b2

The coefficients of the polynomials in F are stored in 3-dimensional arrays per layer. The indices of these arrays denote the polynomial, and the variables.

More detailed information about the private key is to be found in the paper of Jintai Ding, Dieter Schmidt: Rainbow, a New Multivariable Polynomial Signature Scheme. ACNS 2005: 164-175 (http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/11496137_12)
