Questions tagged [dilithium]

Dilithium is a digital signature algorithm based which uses the FIat-Shamir with aborts technique based on the Decisional Compact Knapsack (DCK) and Short Integer Solution (SIS) problems in module lattices. It is an example of lattice-based cryptography and is part of the Crystals family together with the KEM scheme Kyber. It was selected for standardisation as part of the NIST post-quantum cryptography process in 2022. The standard is in progress.

Can someone explain in simple terms how coding part and the algorithm itself, of dilithium pqc signature algorithm resemble here?

I am stuck here and can't map the coding part to the algorithm. $$\underline{\text{Power2Round}_q(r, d)}\\ r := r \bmod^+ q\\ r_0 := r mod^\pm 2^d\\ \textbf{return}\big((r-r_0) / 2^d, r_0\big) $$ What ...
