Improved Exponential-time Algorithms for Inhomogeneous-SIS

Abstract

The paper is about algorithms for the inhomogeneous short integer solution problem: Given $(A,s)$ to find a short vector $x$ such that $Ax \equiv s \pmod{q}$. We consider algorithms for this problem due to Camion and Patarin; Wagner; Schroeppel and Shamir; Minder and Sinclair; Howgrave-Graham and Joux (HGJ); Becker, Coron and Joux (BCJ). Our main results include: Applying the Hermite normal form (HNF) to get faster algorithms; A heuristic analysis of the HGJ and BCJ algorithms in the case of density greater than one; An improved cryptanalysis of the SWIFFT hash function; A new method that exploits symmetries to speed up algorithms for Ring-SIS in some cases. This paper is published in Journal of Cryptology, Volume 32, Issue 1 (2019) 35--83.
