Title:
A Conjecture From a Failed Cryptanalysis

Authors: David Naccache, Ofer Yifrach-Stav

Abstract:

This note describes an observation discovered during a failed cryptanalysis attempt.

Let P(x,y) be a bivariate polynomial with coefficients in \mathbb{C}. Form the n\times n matrices L(n) whose elements are defined by P(i,j). Define the matrices M(n)=L(n)-\mbox{ID}_n.

It appears that \mu(n)=(-1)^n\det(M_n) is a polynomial in n that we did not characterize.

We provide a numerical example.
