Abstract

Coppersmith's method plays an important role in cryptanalysis. By introducing a new tool called Sumsets theory from Additive Combinatorics, we propose a novel strategy for Coppersmith's method based on Newton polytope. With our novel strategy, we provide the first provable and efficient algorithm for calculating the asymptotic bounds of Coppersmith's method, which is typically a tedious and non-trivial task. Moreover, our new perspective offers a better understanding of Coppersmith's method. As a byproduct, we apply our new technique and prove the new heuristic introduced by Meers and Nowakowski at Asiacrypt'23 and improve the cryptanalytic result for the Commutative Isogeny Hidden Number Problem.
