Is Public-Key Encryption Based on LPN Practical?

How Practical is Public-Key Encryption Based on LPN and Ring-LPN?

We conduct a study of public-key cryptosystems based on variants of the Learning Parity with Noise (LPN) problem. The main LPN variant in consideration was introduced by Alekhnovich (FOCS 2003), and we describe several improvements to the originally proposed scheme, inspired by similar existing variants of Regev’s LWE-based cryptosystem. To achieve further efficiency, we propose the first publi...

Low Noise LPN: KDM Secure Public Key Encryption and Sample Amplification

Cryptographic schemes based on the Learning Parity with Noise (LPN) problem have several very desirable aspects: Low computational overhead, simple implementation and conjectured post-quantum hardness. Choosing the LPN noise parameter sufficiently low allows for public key cryptography. In this work, we construct the first standard model public key encryption scheme with key dependent message s...

KDM-Secure Public-Key Encryption from Constant-Noise LPN

The Learning Parity with Noise (LPN) problem has found many applications in cryptography due to its conjectured post-quantum hardness and simple algebraic structure. Over the years, constructions of different public-key primitives were proposed from LPN, but most of them are based on the LPN assumption with low noise rate rather than constant noise rate. A recent breakthrough was made by Yu and...

Public-Key Encryption Based on LPN

Simple Chosen-Ciphertext Security from Low-Noise LPN

Recently, Döttling et al. (ASIACRYPT 2012) proposed the first chosen-ciphertext (IND-CCA) secure public-key encryption scheme from the learning parity with noise (LPN) assumption. In this work we give an alternative scheme which is conceptually simpler and more efficient. At the core of our construction is a trapdoor technique originally proposed for lattices by Micciancio and Peikert (EUROCRYP...
