Abstract
We describe a heuristic polynomial-time algorithm for breaking the NTRU problem with multiple keys when given a sufficient number of ring samples. Following the linearization approach of the Arora-Ge algorithm (ICALP ’11), our algorithm constructs a system of linear equations using the public keys. Our main contribution is a kernel reduction technique that extracts the secret vector from a linear space of rank n, where n is the degree of the ring in which NTRU is defined. Compared to the algorithm of Kim-Lee (Designs, Codes and Cryptography, ’23), our algorithm does not require prior knowledge of the Hamming weight of the secret keys. Our algorithm is based on some plausible heuristics. We demonstrate experiments and show that the algorithm works quite well in practice, with close to cryptographic parameters.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
