چکیده

In this paper, we present an efficient attack of the multivariate Quadratic Quasigroups (MQQ) cryptosystem. Our cryptanalysis breaks MQQ cryptosystems by solving systems of multivariate quadratic polynomial equations using a modified version of the MutantXL algorithm. We present experimental results comparing the behavior of our implementation of MutantXL to Magma’s implementation of F4 on MQQ systems (≥ 135 bit). Based on our results we show that the MutantXL implementation solves with much less memory than Magma’s implementation of F4 algorithm.

Algebraic Attack on the MQQ Public Key Cryptosystem

In this paper, we present an efficient attack on the multivariate Quadratic Quasigroups (MQQ) public key cryptosystem. Our cryptanalysis breaks the MQQ cryptosystem by solving a system of multivariate quadratic polynomial equations using both the MutantXL algorithm and the F4 algorithm. We present the experimental results that show that MQQ systems is broken up to size n equal to 300. Based on ...

Algebraic Attacks Galore!

Received: May 15, 2009 This is the first in a two-part survey of current techniques in algebraic cryptanalysis. After introducing the basic setup of algebraic attacks and discussing several attack scenarios for symmetric cryptosystems, public key cryptosystems, and stream ciphers, we discuss a number of individual methods. The XL, XSL, and MutantXL attacks are based on linearization techniques ...

Analysis of the MQQ Public Key Cryptosystem

MQQ is a multivariate cryptosystem based on multivariate quadratic quasigroups and the Dobbertin transformation [18]. The cryptosystem was broken both by Gröbner bases computation and MutantXL [27]. The complexity of Gröbner bases computation is exponential in the degree of regularity, which is the maximum degree of polynomials occurring during the computation. The authors of [27] observed that...

A Polynomial-Time Key-Recovery Attack on MQQ Cryptosystems

We investigate the security of the family of MQQ public key cryptosystems using multivariate quadratic quasigroups (MQQ). These cryptosystems show especially good performance properties. In particular, the MQQ-SIG signature scheme is the fastest scheme in the ECRYPT benchmarking of cryptographic systems (eBACS). We show that both the signature scheme MQQ-SIG and the encryption scheme MQQ-ENC, a...

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...
