Title:
Algebraic Cryptanalysis of MQQ Public Key Cryptosystem by MutantXL

Authors: Mohamed Saied Emam Mohamed, Jintai Ding, Johannes Buchmann

Abstract:

In this paper, we present an efficient attack to the multivariate Quadratic Quasigroups (MQQ) cryptosystem. Our cryptanalysis breaks MQQ cryptosystems by solving systems of multivariate quadratic polynomial equations using a modified version of the MutantXL algorithm. We present experimental results comparing the behavior of our implementation of MutantXL to Magma’s implementation of F_4 on MQQ systems (\geq 135 bit). Based on our results we show that the MutantXL implementation solves with much less memory than Magma’s implementation of F_4 algorithm.
