Description
Summary:The learning with errors (LWE) problem is one of the hard problems assuring the security of modern lattice-based cryptography. Kannan’s embedding can reduce Search-LWE, the search version of LWE, to a specific case of the shortest vector problem (SVP). Lattice basis reduction is a powerful instrument for solving lattice problems including SVP. We propose a new way for efficiently solving Search-LWE. While a whole basis is reduced in a standard way, ours reduces only a projected basis. To realize our strategy, we also provide an algorithm for reducing projected bases, based on DeepBKZ that is an enhancement of the block Korkine–Zolotarev (BKZ) algorithm. Moreover, we show implementation results for solving some instances within the Darmstadt LWE challenge.
