Efficiently finding solutions to the Rainbow cryptosystem using quotient spaces

Repost of a mathematics stackexchange question here as this concerns my research and it went unanswered on there. In this paper, Ward Beullens gives another way to look at the Rainbow cryptosystem. In ...

Criterion for unicity and existence of pre-image in multivariate cryptography

Repost from math.stackexchange since no one could help me there and it concerns my research. I am reading Ding's Multivariate Public Key Cryptosystems and in the book the author explains the so-called ...

On roots of irreducible quadratics modulo composites

Assume factorization of $N$ is unknown. What is the best complexity we know to find roots of the irreducible equation $$ax^2+bx+c\equiv0\bmod N?$$ Is this problem equivalent to any hardness results?

Can a polynomial be evaluated from evaluations of partial interpolations? (Or: can the unique solution of congruences be written in a certain way?)

Formally, let $K$ be a field, $a \in K[x]$, $D \subseteq K$, and $E = \{(x_i, a(x_i)) \mid x_i \in D\}$ be distinct evaluations of $a$ where $\lvert E\rvert > \operatorname{deg}(a)$ (so $E$ ...

Polynomial representation of modular arithmetic in finite fields

Let $n \in \mathbb{N}$ be a predefined integer. Consider the following bijection (between the ring of integers modulo $2^n$ and finite field with $2^n$ elements: $$ \phi: \mathbb{Z}_{2^n} \to \mathbb{...

How to choose a prime p s.t. n-th cyclotomic polynomial splits into as much as possible irreducible polynomials while p is almost constant size?

The reason I ask this question is that cyclotomic polynomial is critical to the construction of lattice-based cryptography. In most of the existing lattice-based cryptographic schemes, $n$ is usually ...

Reason Coppersmith fails here?

Take classic problem of finding $P,Q$ in balanced semi-prime $N=PQ$. $P$ has a binary expansion and so does $Q$. We can set the binary $0/1$ variables to be $x_1$ through $x_{\lceil\log P\rceil}$ and $...

Modular polynomials for elliptic curves point counting

The Schoof-Elkies-Atkin (SEA) algorithm (for counting points on elliptic curves over a finite field) performs computations over polynomials modulo some modular polynomials. Originally the "classical" ...

Polynomial dynamical systems

The question is somewhat related to the theory of permutation polynomials. Let $\mathbb{F}_p$ be a finite field of $p$ elements ($p$ is prime) and $\mathcal{V} = \mathbb{F}_p^2 = \{ (t_1,t_2)\::\: t_1,...
