Title:
Cryptanalysis on the Multilinear Map over the Integers and its Related Problems

Authors: Jung Hee Cheon, Kyoohyung Han, Changmin Lee, Hansol Ryu, Damien Stehle

Abstract:

The CRT-ACD problem is to find the primes p_1,…,p_n given polynomially many instances of CRT_{(p_1,…,p_n)}(r_1,…,r_n) for small integers r_1,…,r_n. The CRT-ACD problem is regarded as a hard problem, but its hardness is not proven yet. In this paper, we analyze the CRT-ACD problem when given one more input CRT_{(p_1,…,p_n)}(x_0/p_1,…,x_0/p_n) for x_0=\prod\limits_{i=1}^n p_i and propose a polynomial-time algorithm for this problem by using products of the instances and auxiliary input. This algorithm yields a polynomial-time cryptanalysis of the (approximate) multilinear map of Coron, Lepoint and Tibouchi (CLT): We show that by multiplying encodings of zero with zero-testing parameters properly in the CLT scheme, one can obtain a required input of our algorithm: products of CRT-ACD instances and auxiliary input. This leads to a total break: all the quantities that were supposed to be kept secret can be recovered in an efficient and public manner. We also introduce polynomial-time algorithms for the Subgroup Membership, Decision Linear, and Graded External Diffie-Hellman problems, which are used as the base problems of several cryptographic schemes constructed on multilinear maps.
