following glyph and as noted above, the maximum degree of the polynomials will be n-1 and therefore have n coefficients. typical values for n are 512, and 1024. the coefficients of these polynomials will be from the field f where q is an odd prime congruent to 1 mod 4. for n=1024, glyph sets q = 59393, b=16383 and k the number of non-zero coefficients in the output of polyhash equal to 16. the number of non-zero coefficients k produced by the hash function is equal to 32 for both cases. the security of the signature scheme is closely tied to the relative sizes of n, q, b, and k. details on setting these parameters can be found in references 5 and 6 below.
