چکیده

It is widely believed to take exponential time to find a solution of a system of random multivariate polynomials because of the NP-completeness of such a task. On the other hand, in most of multivariate public key cryptosystems proposed so far, the computational complexity of cryptanalysis is apt to be polynomial time due to the trapdoor structure. In this paper, we develop the concept, piece in hand matrix (PH matrix, for short), which aims to bring the computational complexity of cryptanalysis of multivariate public key cryptosystems close to exponential time by adding random polynomial terms to original cryptosystems. This is a general concept which can be applicable to any reasonable type of multivariate public key cryptosystems for the purpose of enhancing their security. There are two types of the PH matrices: a linear matrix whose elements are constants and a nonlinear matrix whose elements are polynomial functions of the plain text or random numbers. In the present paper, we focus our thought on the nonlinear PH matrix method and develop the framework of it. The nonlinear PH matrix method is obtained by generalizing the linear PH matrix method, and the nonlinearity may bring an additional randomization to the original linear PH matrix method. Thus, the nonlinear PH matrix method may enhance the security of the original multivariate public key cryptosystem more than the linear PH matrix method. We show, in an experimental manner, that this actually holds in the enhancement of the security of the Matsumoto-Imai cryptosystem and RSE(2)PKC against the Gröbner basis attack.

Security Enhancement of Various MPKCs by 2-Layer Nonlinear Piece in Hand Method

Following the last proposal of the nonlinear Piece in Hand method, which has 3-layer structure, 2-layer nonlinear Piece in Hand method is proposed. Both of them aim at enhancing the security of existing and future multivariate public key cryptosystems. The new nonlinear Piece in Hand is compared with the 3-layer method and PMI+, which was proposed by Ding, et al.

Cryptanalysis of 2-Layer Nonlinear Piece in Hand Method

Piece in Hand method is a security enhancement method for Multivariate Public Key Cryptosystems (MPKCs). Since 2004, many types of this method have been proposed. In this paper, we consider the 2-layer nonlinear Piece in Hand method as proposed by Tsuji et al. in 2009. The key point of this method is to introduce an invertible quadratic polynomial map on the plaintext variables to construct per...

QTRU: quaternionic version of the NTRU public-key cryptosystems

In this paper we will construct a lattice-based public-key cryptosystem using non-commutative quaternion algebra, and since its lattice does not fully fit within Circular and Convolutional Modular Lattice (CCML), we prove it is arguably more secure than the existing lattice-based cryptosystems such as NTRU. As in NTRU, the proposed public-key cryptosystem relies for its inherent securi...
