• Abstract: Threshold digital signatures enable a distributed execution of signature functionalities and will play a crucial role in the security of emerging decentralized next-generation networked systems and applications. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive and systematic survey of threshold and distributed signatures with advanced features. Our survey encompasses threshold signatures in conventional and post-quantum cryptography (PQC) settings and captures custom-design and standard signatures (e.g., conventional NIST and NIST-PQC). We examine both generic (via secure multi-party computation) and custom thresholding techniques for a myriad of signature families while investigating exotic signatures, real-life applications, and potential future research direction.

  NIST has recommended the use of stateful hash-based digital signatures for long-term applications that may require protection from future threats that use quantum computers. XMSS and LMS have multiple parameter options that impact digital signature size, public key size, the number of signatures that can be produced over the life of a keypair, and the computational effort to validate signatures. This collection of benchmark data is intended to support system designers in understanding the differences among the configuration options.
