It introduces additional consistency checks, as suggested by the
authors of the paper.  The checks are slightly different, but they
make the two additional attacks infeasible, I think.  In the future,
it might be a good idea to add a check the generated signature for
validity, this will detect bugs in the MPI implementation which could
result in a revealed secret key, too.
