Isn't a problem with this that the private key can only be used to sign one message as otherwise more intermediate values for different bit patterns are revealed--and then I can forge all the downstream ones. In the extreme case, if I have two messages where the digest differs in the first bit, I have A, B and C. That also means that technically only B or C are really "private" as A and (B or C) are pushed as part of the signature.

Can we at least post some links? https://www.docdroid.net/mR3fUNS/paper.pdf.html is apparently where 1st 2 pages are. _______________________________________________ cryptography mailing list cryptography@randombit.net http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/cryptography _______________________________________________ cryptography mailing list cryptography@randombit.net http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
