Title:
A Practical Adaptive Key Recovery Attack on the LGM (GSW-like) Cryptosystem

Authors: Prastudy Fauzi, Martha Norberg Hovd, Håvard Raddum

Abstract:

We present an adaptive key recovery attack on the leveled homomorphic encryption scheme suggested by Li, Galbraith and Ma (Provsec 2016), which itself is a modification of the GSW cryptosystem designed to resist key recovery attacks by using a different linear combination of secret keys for each decryption. We were able to efficiently recover the secret key for a realistic choice of parameters using a statistical attack. In particular, this means that the Li, Galbraith and Ma strategy does not prevent adaptive key recovery attacks.
