NTRU ⇒ KEM
Statement
Migrated verbatim from ntru § NTRU Encrypt / NTRUSign:
The original NTRU submissions to NIST PQC standardization include NTRUEncrypt (a key encapsulation mechanism) and the historically proposed NTRUSign (a signature scheme, later broken and withdrawn).
Notes
source: folklore: the claim carried no citation on the page it was
migrated from, and none was invented.
class: unstated: no citing page says which notion of reduction is meant.
Recording a class the wiki does not state would add a claim.
Recorded during migration and not fixed — these are claims about the source text, not changes to it:
- No citation.
- NTRUEncrypt is historically a public-key ENCRYPTION scheme; calling it “a key encapsulation mechanism” conflates the original scheme with the later NIST-submission KEM variant.
- Sentence packs a construction claim and a break claim; recorded separately.
