Parameter Estimation for Lattice-Based Cryptosystems by Using Sieving Algorithms
Özet
The security of quantum resistant lattice-based cryptosystems mainly depend on the shortest vector problem (SVP) or the closest vector problem (CVP). In this paper, sieving algorithms such as ListSieve, GaussSieve, ProGaussSieve and HashSieve are discussed and compared in terms of their complexity and capabilities. The algorithm of Becker et al., used in LWE-Estimator software, is analyzed by considering HashSieve to generate reliable parameter sets. According to the experimental results, up to 81-bit security level, using HashSieve is comparable with other algorithms. It's shown that for low security levels small key sizes can be obtained. © 2019 IEEE.
