The shortest vector problem (SVP) over ideal lattices is closely related to the Ring-LWE problem, which is widely used to build post-quantum cryptosystems. Power-of-two cyclotomic fields are frequently adopted to instantiate Ring-LWE. Pan…

The discrete Gaussian $D_{L- t, s}$ is the distribution that assigns to each vector $x$ in a shifted lattice $L - t$ probability proportional to $e^{-\pi \|x\|^2/s^2}$. It has long been an important tool in the study of lattices. More…

We prove that for an arbitrarily small constant $\eps>0,$ assuming NP$\not \subseteq$DTIME$(2^{{\log^{O(1/\eps)} n}})$, the preprocessing versions of the closest vector problem and the nearest codeword problem are hard to approximate within…
