We show that a constant factor approximation of the shortest and closest lattice vector problem in any norm can be computed in time $2^{0.802\, n}$. This contrasts the corresponding $2^n$ time, (gap)-SETH based lower bounds for these…

The assumed hardness of the Shortest Vector Problem in high-dimensional lattices is one of the cornerstones of post-quantum cryptography. The fastest known heuristic attacks on SVP are via so-called sieving methods. While these still take…

In this paper, we introduce the Maximum Distance Sublattice Problem (MDSP). We observed that the problem of solving an instance of the Closest Vector Problem (CVP) in a lattice $\mathcal{L}$ is the same as solving an instance of MDSP in the…

The Shortest Lattice Vector (SLV) problem is in general hard to solve, except for special cases (such as root lattices and lattices for which an obtuse superbase is known). In this paper, we present a new class of SLV problems that can be…
