Bitcoin SHRINCS Draft Sets 5,777-Byte Signature for Counter Loss
Bitcoin's quantum-resistant signature system SHRINCS requires 5,777-byte fallbacks when counters are lost.
In brief
Bitcoin's quantum-resistant signature system SHRINCS requires 5,777-byte fallbacks when counters are lost. SHRINCS, a draft quantum-resistant Bitcoin signature system, uses 5,777-byte signatures when counters are lost. Originally reported by TokenPost.
SHRINCS Draft
SHRINCS is a draft quantum-resistant signature system for Bitcoin that requires 5,777-byte signatures when counters are lost.
Counter State Fallback
SHRINCS uses 548 to 4619-byte signatures when counters are established but requires 5777-byte fallbacks if counters are lost.
Security Implications
SHRINCS prevents forgery by requiring counters to be saved before signing and using stateless methods when counters are lost.
In short
SHRINCS, a draft quantum-resistant Bitcoin signature system, uses 5,777-byte signatures when counters are lost.
