Abstract

In this work, we unveil an analogy between well-known lattice based learning with error problem and ill-posed inverse problems. We show that LWE problem is a structured inverse problem. Further, we propose a symmetric encryption scheme based on ill-posed problems and thoroughly discuss its security. Finally, we propose a public key encryption scheme based on our symmetric encryption scheme and CRYSTALS-Kyber KEM (key encapsulation mechanism) and discuss its security.
