 Commitment schemes are thus used to \textit{oblige} the verifier of the $\Sigma$-protocol to be honest: it commits its challenge at the outset of the interaction, and opens it at the challenge phase, so that it cannot change its challenge with respect to the commitment of the prover.
 
+An example of commitment scheme that will prove useful in \cref{sse:stern} is the Kawachi, Tanaka, Xagawa \SIS-based commitment scheme~\cite{KTX08}.
+
+This construction relies on the following hash function:
+\begin{definition}[$\SIS$-based hash function] \label{de:sis-hash}
+  Let $n,\ell,q \in \ZZ$ be parameters such that the $\SIS_{n,\ell,q, \sqrt \ell}$ assumption holds.
+  Let $\mathbf A \in \Zq^{n \times \ell}$, and let $f_{\mathbf A}: \bit^\ell \to \Zq^n$ be the function that maps its input string $x$ into a binary vector $\mathbf x \in \Zq^n$ and outputs $\mathbf A \mathbf x \bmod q \in \Zq^n$.
+
+  One can notice that $f_{\mathbf A}$ is indeed a collision resistant one-way function under the $\SIS$ assumption, as finding two inputs $x \neq \tilde{x}$ such that $\mathbf A \cdot \mathbf x = \mathbf A \cdot \tilde{\mathbf x} \bmod q$ leads to a non-zero vector $\mathbf x'  =\mathbf x - \tilde{\mathbf x} \in \ZZ$ such that $\|\mathbf x'\|_2 \leq \sqrt \ell$.
+
+  It is thus possible to apply the \textit{Merkle-Damg{\aa}rd construction}~\cite{Mer79,Mer89,Dam89} on $f_{\mathbf A}$ to obtain a \textit{collision resistant hash function} $h_{\mathbf A}: \bit^\star \to \Zq^n$ that is secure under $\SIS_{n,\ell, q, \sqrt \ell}$.

+\begin{definition}[\SIS-based commitment scheme] \label{de:sis-commitment}
+  Given parameters $n,m,q \in \ZZ$, let us define the following commitment scheme due to~\cite{KTX08}.
+  \begin{description}
+    \item[\textsf{Setup}$(1^\lambda)$:] Pick two random matrices $\mathbf A_M, \mathbf A_\rho \in \U(\Zq^{n \times m})$ and define the public parameters as the matrix $\mathbf A = [ \mathbf A_M \mid \mathbf A_\rho]$.
+    \item[$\textsf{Commit}(\mathbf A, M; \rho)$:] To commit to a string $M \in \{0,1\}^\star$ under randomness $\rho \in \{0,1\}^{m}$, first parse $\mathbf A \in \Zq^{n \times 2m}$ as $[\mathbf A_M \mid \mathbf A_\rho]$ as in the \textsf{\textbf{Setup}} algorithm,
+      then compute $\com = h_{\mathbf A_M}(M) + f_{\mathbf A_\rho}(\rho) \in \Zq^n$,
+      where $h_{\mathbf A_M}$ and $f_{\mathbf A_\rho}$ are the hash function and the one-way collision resistant function defined in \cref{de:sis-hash}.
+      The opening corresponds to the randomness $\rho$ used in the computation.
+    \item[$\textsf{Verify}(\mathbf A, \com, \open, M)$:] First parse $\mathbf A$ as in the \textsf{\textbf{Setup}} algorithm. Then accept if and only if $\open \in \bit^m$ and $\com = h_{\mathbf A_M}(M) + f_{\mathbf A_\rho}(\rho)$.
+  \end{description}
+\end{definition}
+
+\begin{lemma}[{\cite[Le. 3.4]{KTX08}}]
+  If $m > 5n \log q$, the above commitment scheme is \emph{statistically hiding} and \emph{binding} under the $\SIS_{n,m,q,\sqrt{m}}$ assumption in the trusted setup model.
