Title:
Attacking trapdoors from matrix products

Authors: Thomas Decru, Tako Boris Fouotsa, Paul Frixons, Valerie Gilchrist, Christophe Petit

Abstract:

Recently, Geraud-Stewart and Naccache proposed two trapdoors based on matrix products. In this paper, we answer the call for cryptanalysis. We explore how using the trace and determinant of a matrix can be used to attack their constructions. We fully break their first construction in a polynomial-time attack. We show an information leak in the second construction using characteristic polynomials, and provide an attack using traces that decreases the bit security by about half.
