Help with cryptanalysis of branching in schemes based on Multivariate Public Key Cryptography

I'm familiarized with the structure of branching found in Multivariate Cryptography, as it allows us to partition a $n$-tuple over $F_{q}$ into a $k$-tuple where the $i$-th element is in $F_{q^{\...

Solving not so much overdetermined system of multivariate polynomial equations

I'm studying algorithms solving multivariate equations. I'm stuck in solving overdetermined set of quadratic equations. Concretely, with the number $n$ of variables, the number of equations is $m=\...

I just want a post-quantum permutation and I don't care about efficiency. Can multivariate reciprocals help me?

Let's say there's an application that require a public-key permutation, and we can throw all other requirements away, and design one out of reciprocal multivariate system. Is this viable? If yes, how ...

Question about Mesquite signature size?

I have a question regarding William Wang's paper Shorter Signatures from MQ. According to him the (maximum) signature size is: $$ 2\kappa + 3\kappa\cdot \lceil\tau\log\frac{M}{\tau}\rceil + \tau\cdot\...
