On Ideal Lattices and Learning with Errors Over Rings∗
On Ideal Lattices and Learning with Errors Over Rings∗ Vadim Lyubashevskyy Chris Peikertz Oded Regevx June 25, 2013 Abstract The “learning with errors” (LWE) problem is to distinguish random linear equations, which have been perturbed by a small amount of noise, from truly uniform ones. The problem has been shown to be as hard as worst-case lattice problems, and in recent years it has served as the foundation for a plethora of cryptographic applications. Unfortunately, these applications are rather inefficient due to an inherent quadratic overhead in the use of LWE. A main open question was whether LWE and its applications could be made truly efficient by exploiting extra algebraic structure, as was done for lattice-based hash functions (and related primitives). We resolve this question in the affirmative by introducing an algebraic variant of LWE called ring- LWE, and proving that it too enjoys very strong hardness guarantees. Specifically, we show that the ring-LWE distribution is pseudorandom, assuming that worst-case problems on ideal lattices are hard for polynomial-time quantum algorithms. Applications include the first truly practical lattice-based public-key cryptosystem with an efficient security reduction; moreover, many of the other applications of LWE can be made much more efficient through the use of ring-LWE. 1 Introduction Over the last decade, lattices have emerged as a very attractive foundation for cryptography. The appeal of lattice-based primitives stems from the fact that their security can often be based on worst-case hardness assumptions, and that they appear to remain secure even against quantum computers. -
Qchain: Quantum-Resistant and Decentralized PKI Using Blockchain
SCIS 2018 2018 Symposium on Cryptography and Information Security Niigata, Japan, Jan. 23 - 26, 2018 The Institute of Electronics, Copyright c 2018 The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers Information and Communication Engineers QChain: Quantum-resistant and Decentralized PKI using Blockchain Hyeongcheol An ∗ Kwangjo Kim ∗ Abstract: Blockchain was developed under public domain and distributed database using the P2P connection. Therefore, blockchain does not have any central administrator or Certificate Au- thority(CA). However, Public Key Infrastructure(PKI) must have CA which issues and signs the digital certificates. PKI CA must be fully trusted by all parties in a domain. Also, current public key cryptosystem can be broken using quantum computing attacks. The post-quantum cryptography (PQC) must be secure against the quantum adversary. We combine blockchain technique with one of post-quantum cryptography lattice-based cryptosystems. In this paper, we suggest QChain which is quantum-resistant decentralized PKI system using blockchain. We propose modified lattice-based GLP signature scheme. QChain uses modified GLP signature which uses Number Theoretic Transformation (NTT). We compare currently used X.509 v3 PKI and QChain certificate.

For most current lattice-based schemes, one can recover the secret key by solving a corresponding instance of the unique Shortest Vector Problem (uSVP), the problem of finding a shortest non-zero vector in a lattice which is unusually short. This work is concerned with the concrete hardness of the uSVP. In particular, we study the uSVP in general as well as instances of the problem with particularly small or sparse short vectors, which are used in cryptographic constructions to increase their efficiency. We study solving the uSVP in general via lattice reduction, more precisely, the Block-wise Korkine-Zolotarev (BKZ) algorithm. In order to solve an instance of the uSVP via BKZ, the applied block size, which specifies the BKZ algorithm, needs to be sufficiently large. -
Making NTRU As Secure As Worst-Case Problems Over Ideal Lattices
Making NTRU as Secure as Worst-Case Problems over Ideal Lattices Damien Stehlé1 and Ron Steinfeld2 1 CNRS, Laboratoire LIP (U. Lyon, CNRS, ENS Lyon, INRIA, UCBL), 46 Allée d’Italie, 69364 Lyon Cedex 07, France. [email protected] – http://perso.ens-lyon.fr/damien.stehle 2 Centre for Advanced Computing - Algorithms and Cryptography, Department of Computing, Macquarie University, NSW 2109, Australia [email protected] – http://web.science.mq.edu.au/~rons Abstract. NTRUEncrypt, proposed in 1996 by Hoffstein, Pipher and Sil- verman, is the fastest known lattice-based encryption scheme. Its mod- erate key-sizes, excellent asymptotic performance and conjectured resis- tance to quantum computers could make it a desirable alternative to fac- torisation and discrete-log based encryption schemes. However, since its introduction, doubts have regularly arisen on its security. In the present work, we show how to modify NTRUEncrypt to make it provably secure in the standard model, under the assumed quantum hardness of standard worst-case lattice problems, restricted to a family of lattices related to some cyclotomic fields. Our main contribution is to show that if the se- cret key polynomials are selected by rejection from discrete Gaussians, then the public key, which is their ratio, is statistically indistinguishable from uniform over its domain. The security then follows from the already proven hardness of the R-LWE problem. Keywords. Lattice-based cryptography, NTRU, provable security. 1 Introduction NTRUEncrypt, devised by Hoffstein, Pipher and Silverman, was first presented at the Crypto’96 rump session [14]. Although its description relies on arithmetic n over the polynomial ring Zq[x]=(x − 1) for n prime and q a small integer, it was quickly observed that breaking it could be expressed as a problem over Euclidean lattices [6]. -
Lattices That Admit Logarithmic Worst-Case to Average-Case Connection Factors
Lattices that Admit Logarithmic Worst-Case to Average-Case Connection Factors Chris Peikert∗ Alon Rosen† April 4, 2007 Abstract We demonstrate an average-case problem that is as hard as finding γ(n)-approximate√ short- est vectors in certain n-dimensional lattices in the worst case, where γ(n) = O( log n). The previously best known factor for any non-trivial class of lattices was γ(n) = O˜(n). Our results apply to families of lattices having special algebraic structure. Specifically, we consider lattices that correspond to ideals in the ring of integers of an algebraic number field. The worst-case problem we rely on is to find approximate shortest vectors in these lattices, under an appropriate form of preprocessing of the number field. For the connection factors γ(n) we achieve, the corresponding decision problems on ideal lattices are not known to be NP-hard; in fact, they are in P. However, the search approximation problems still appear to be very hard. Indeed, ideal lattices are well-studied objects in com- putational number theory, and the best known algorithms for them seem to perform no better than the best known algorithms for general lattices. To obtain the best possible connection factor, we instantiate our constructions with infinite families of number fields having constant root discriminant. Such families are known to exist and are computable, though no efficient construction is yet known. Our work motivates the search for such constructions. Even constructions of number fields having root discriminant up to O(n2/3−) would yield connection factors better than O˜(n). -

Recently, numerous physical aacks have been demonstrated against laice- based schemes, oen exploiting their unique properties such as the reliance on Gaussian distributions, rejection sampling and FFT-based polynomial multiplication. As the call for concrete implementations and deployment of postquantum cryptography becomes more pressing, protecting against those aacks is an important problem. However, few counter- measures have been proposed so far. In particular, masking has been applied to the decryp- tion procedure of some laice-based encryption schemes, but the much more dicult case of signatures (which are highly non-linear and typically involve randomness) has not been considered until now. In this paper, we describe the rst masked implementation of a laice-based signature scheme. Since masking Gaussian sampling and other procedures involving contrived prob- ability distribution would be prohibitively inecient, we focus on the GLP scheme of Guneysu,¨ Lyubashevsky and Poppelmann¨ (CHES 2012). We show how to provably mask it in the Ishai–Sahai–Wagner model (CRYPTO 2003) at any order in a relatively ecient man- ner, using extensions of the techniques of Coron et al. -
The Whole Is Less Than the Sum of Its Parts: Constructing More Efficient Lattice-Based Akes?
The Whole is Less than the Sum of its Parts: Constructing More Efficient Lattice-Based AKEs? Rafael del Pino1;2;3, Vadim Lyubashevsky4, and David Pointcheval3;2;1 1 INRIA, Paris 2 Ecole´ Normale Sup´erieure,Paris 3 CNRS 4 IBM Research Zurich Abstract. Authenticated Key Exchange (AKE) is the backbone of internet security protocols such as TLS and IKE. A recent announcement by standardization bodies calling for a shift to quantum-resilient crypto has resulted in several AKE proposals from the research community. Be- cause AKE can be generically constructed by combining a digital signature scheme with public key encryption (or a KEM), most of these proposals focused on optimizing the known KEMs and left the authentication part to the generic combination with digital signatures. In this paper, we show that by simultaneously considering the secrecy and authenticity require- ments of an AKE, we can construct a scheme that is more secure and with smaller communication complexity than a scheme created by a generic combination of a KEM with a signature scheme. Our improvement uses particular properties of lattice-based encryption and signature schemes and consists of two parts { the first part increases security, whereas the second reduces communication complexity. We first observe that parameters for lattice-based encryption schemes are always set so as to avoid decryption errors, since many observations by the adversary of such failures usually leads to him recovering the secret key. But since one of the requirements of an AKE is that it be forward-secure, the public key must change every time. The intuition is therefore that one can set the parameters of the scheme so as to not care about decryption errors and everything should still remain secure. -

Abstract n Lattice-based cryptography is the use of conjectured hard problems on point lattices in R as the foundation for secure cryptographic systems. Attractive features of lattice cryptography include apparent resistance to quantum attacks (in contrast with most number-theoretic cryptography), high asymptotic efficiency and parallelism, security under worst-case intractability assumptions, and solutions to long-standing open problems in cryptography. This work surveys most of the major developments in lattice cryptography over the past ten years. The main focus is on the foundational short integer solution (SIS) and learning with errors (LWE) problems (and their more efficient ring-based variants), their provable hardness assuming the worst-case intractability of standard lattice problems, and their many cryptographic applications.

CRYSTALS-Dilithium: a Lattice-Based Digital Signature Scheme
CRYSTALS-Dilithium: A Lattice-Based Digital Signature Scheme Léo Ducas1, Eike Kiltz2, Tancrède Lepoint3, Vadim Lyubashevsky4, Peter Schwabe5, Gregor Seiler6 and Damien Stehlé7 1 CWI, Netherlands 2 Ruhr Universität Bochum, Germany 3 SRI International, USA 4 IBM Research – Zurich, Switzerland 5 Radboud University, Netherlands 6 IBM Research – Zurich and ETH Zurich, Switzerland 7 ENS de Lyon, France Abstract. In this paper, we present the lattice-based signature scheme Dilithium, which is a component of the CRYSTALS (Cryptographic Suite for Algebraic Lattices) suite that was submitted to NIST’s call for post-quantum cryptographic standards. The design of the scheme avoids all uses of discrete Gaussian sampling and is easily implementable in constant-time. For the same security levels, our scheme has a public key that is 2.5X smaller than the previously most efficient lattice-based schemes that did not use Gaussians, while having essentially the same signature size. In addition to the new design, we significantly improve the running time of the main component of many lattice-based constructions – the number theoretic transform. Our AVX2-based implementation results in a speed-up of roughly a factor of 2 over the previously best algorithms that appear in the literature. The techniques for obtaining this speed-up also have applications to other lattice-based schemes. Keywords: Lattice Cryptography · Digital Signatures · Constant-Time Implementa- tion · AVX2 1 Introduction Cryptography based on the hardness of lattice problems is seen as a very promising replacement of traditional cryptography after the eventual coming of quantum computers. In this paper, we present a new digital signature scheme Dilithium, whose security is based on the hardness of finding short vectors in lattices. -
High-Speed Signatures from Standard Lattices
High-speed signatures from standard lattices Özgür Dagdelen1, Rachid El Bansarkhani1, Florian Göpfert1, Tim Güneysu2, Tobias Oder2, Thomas Pöppelmann2, Ana Helena Sánchez3, and Peter Schwabe3 ? 1 Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] 2 Horst Görtz Institute for IT-Security, Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany [email protected] 3 Digital Security Group, Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. At CT-RSA 2014 Bai and Galbraith proposed a lattice-based signature scheme optimized for short signatures and with a security re- duction to hard standard lattice problems. In this work we first refine the security analysis of the original work and propose a new 128-bit se- cure parameter set chosen for software efficiency. Moreover, we increase the acceptance probability of the signing algorithm through an improved rejection condition on the secret keys. Our software implementation tar- geting Intel CPUs with AVX/AVX2 and ARM CPUs with NEON vector instructions shows that even though we do not rely on ideal lattices, we are able to achieve high performance. For this we optimize the matrix- vector operations and several other aspects of the scheme and finally compare our work with the state of the art. Keywords: Signature scheme, standard lattices, vectorization, Ivy Bridge. 1 Introduction Most practical lattice-based signatures [7, 16, 21], proposed as post-quantum [9] alternatives to RSA and ECDSA, are currently instantiated and implemented using structured ideal lattices [30] corresponding to ideals in rings of the form Z[x]=hfi, where f is a degree-n irreducible polynomial (usually f = xn +1).
