Jacobi Signatures, Revisited

Yansong Feng

Abstract

We remove the Boneh--Lipton conjecture from the proof of Corrigan-Gibbs and Wu (CRYPTO~2024) that Jacobi signatures modulo $N=p^2q$ are one-way. This relates the one-wayness of the pseudorandom generator proposed by Damg{\aa}rd in 1988 to a standard number-theoretic problem alone.
