Lattice-based extended withdrawability

We extend the extended withdrawable signatures of Liu, Susilo and Baek to lattice-based constructions built on the Fiat-Shamir with aborts paradigm. Departing from an earlier draft that transported a per-signer shift in the clear, which leaks the signer, we realise extended withdrawable signatures as a claimable ring signature: signer ambiguity is provided by a one-out-of-N signature used as a black box (anonymity under full key exposure), and confirmation is the signer's claim, a binding signature together with the opening of a hiding index commitment bound into the transcript. No signer-derived value is published in the clear. We give complete proofs of correctness, extended withdrawability (as anonymity-until-claim), unforgeability under insider corruption, and claimability soundness, reducing to decisional MLWE (commitment hiding), MSIS (commitment binding), the anonymity of the one-out-of-$N$ scheme, and the EUF-CMA security of the base signature, in the (quantum) random-oracle model. We instantiate the base signature with a no-hint, full-$t$ Dilithium-style scheme and the one-out-of-$N$ layer with an established lattice one-out-of-many proof.

Withdrawability in Fiat-Shamir with aborts constructions

This article presents an extension of the work performed by Liu, Baek and Susilo on withdrawable signatures to the Fiat-Shamir with aborts paradigm. We introduce an abstract construction, and provide security proofs for this proposal. As an instantiation, we provide a concrete withdrawable signature scheme based on a no-hint, full-t Dilithium-style Fiat-Shamir with aborts construction; adapting to production ML-DSA (with hints) introduces a small epsilon term.

On the Hochschild homology of involutive algebras

We study the homological algebra of bimodules over involutive associative algebras. We show that Braun's definition of involutive Hochschild cohomology in terms of the complex of involution-preserving derivations is indeed computing a derived functor: the Z/2-invariants intersected with the center. We then introduce the corresponding involutive Hochschild homology theory and describe it as the derived functor of the pushout of Z/2-coinvariants and abelianization.

On the structure of unoriented topological conformal field theories

We give a classification of open Klein topological conformal field theories in terms of Calabi-Yau $A_\infty$-categories endowed with an involution. Given an open Klein topological conformal field theory, there is a universal open-closed extension whose closed part is the involutive variant of the Hochschild chains of the open part.
