Abstract

En 中文
The Renyi divergence is a measure of closeness of two probability distributions which has found several applications over the last years as an alternative to the statistical distance in lattice-based cryptography. A tight bound has recently been presented for the Renyi divergence of distributions that have a bounded relative error. We show that it can be used to bound the precision requirement in Gaussian sampling to the IEEE 754 floating-point standard double precision for usual lattice-based signature parameters by using a modified cumulative distribution table (CDT), which reduces the memory needed by CDT-based algorithms and, makes their constant-time implementation faster and simpler. Then, we apply this approach to a variable-center variant of the CDT algorithm which occasionally requires the online computation of the cumulative distribution function. As a result, the amount of costly floating-point operations is drastically decreased, which makes the constant-time and cache-resistant variants of this algorithm viable and efficient. Finally, we provide some experimental results indicating that comparing to rejection sampling our approach increases the GPV signature rate by a factor 4 to 8 depending on the security parameter.
