چکیده
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 these results we show also that MutantXL solves MQQ systems with much less memory than the F4 algorithm implemented in Magma.

Algebraic Cryptanalysis of MQQ Public Key Cryptosystem by MutantXL
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 ...
متن کاملA 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...
متن کاملQTRU: 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...
متن کاملAnalysis 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...
متن کاملAlgebraic Cryptanalysis of McEliece Variants with Compact Keys
In this paper we propose a new approach to investigate the security of the McEliece cryptosystem. We recall that this cryptosystem relies on the use of error-correcting codes. Since its invention thirty years ago, no efficient attack had been devised that managed to recover the private key. We prove that the private key of the cryptosystem satisfies a system of bi-homogeneous polynomial equatio...
