references.bib gave ePrint 2024/1113 the title "Corona: Practical Two-Round Threshold Signatures from Learning with Errors". The paper is "Ringtail: Practical Two-Round Threshold Signatures from Learning with Errors", by the six authors the entry already named correctly. A title is the authors' words. The file's own header asks for exactly this — "verified against https://eprint.iacr.org... Do not paraphrase or guess". Ringtail is their scheme. Corona is Lux's implementation over Ring-LWE; Pulsar retargets the same two-round structure to Module-LWE for FIPS 204. The prose and the citation key now say so, and this spec is the NIST MPTC submission, so it is the last place to get it wrong. patent-notes.tex stated "Corona's open-source repo is Apache-2.0 with no asserted patent claims". Corona is under the Lux Ecosystem License v1.2, which reserves commercial use — no Apache grant and no Apache §3 patent grant. The surrounding paragraph had been flattened by a rename into "Pulsar ... is derivative of Pulsar" and "Pulsar (and therefore Pulsar) is a fork"; it now names Corona and Ringtail where each is meant. Dropped the residual Pulsar-M spelling, including the naming rule that forbade writing "Pulsar" and required writing "Pulsar". Co-authored-by: Hanzo Dev <[email protected]>
