Current Attacks on NTRU

Acknowledgements I should thank many people who have helped me on the way of writing and then righting what you read now. I start with my family, whose love and support have been the very foundation of all my studies. I thank Professor Buchmann, who interested me in the field of lattice cryptography and arranged this thesis. I thank my first supervisor Christoph Ludwig, for many talks about lattice-reduction and programming even from afar. And I especially thank my most thorough supervisor and guide through the worlds of computer science and mathematics, Ulrich Vollmer. As a nice counterpoint, I thank Stefanie Stuckenholz my sweet love, for ensuring that I never spent too much time working. On the same note, I thank my longest and bestest friend Frank Karinda, for giving me the ambition to try for a doctoral thesis next. I thank Rafaël Dahmen for every single tomato-wheat-talk. And last but in no way least, I thank all my other proofreaders Ben, Burgi, and Nicole, who in their different fields of expertise are the most sympathetic geniuses I know. And I thank Ben once more for countless hours of help during the climax of this work. May none of you ever lack for a beverage. Warranty I hereby warrant that the content of this thesis is the direct result of my own work and that any use made in it of published or unpublished material is fully and correctly referenced.
