Module Lattice Security (Part III): Structured CVP Distance on the Log-Unit Lattice
Abstract
We prove that the CVP distance from a random short ring element to the log-unit lattice of converges to as . We then show that this target lies inside the Voronoi cell of the origin for . For the norm, the maximum over sub-Gaussian coordinates yields which translates into a sub-polynomial approximation factor for the Short Generator Problem. We show a Coarse Lattice Theorem that Babai's algorithm returns zero for all structured targets, yet exactly recovers unit perturbations of arbitrary size. For module determinant ideals, we further prove the Trigamma Theorem that proves an intrinsic imbalance independent of the modulus . Finally, combined with Parts I and II, we reduce the CDPR factor for ML-KEM from to a sub-polynomial value.
