I am happy to announce our work
"Practical Post-Quantum Secure Publicly Verifiable Secret Sharing and Applications"
has been accepted at ACM PQQS 2026. (
In this work, we show that in a publicly VSS with a non-interactive dealer, NIZKs(for correct dealing) can be completely avoided by combining lattice-based IBE + a verifiable complaint phase between the receivers.
This removes the necessity for a lattice-based NIZK for post-quantum PVSS and is useful for post-quantum secure applications over the blockchain.
This is a joint work with
