Overview of the
Learning With Errors Problem
Learning With Errors (LWE) Problem
• There is a secret vector s in qn (we'll use 174 as a running example)
• An oracle (who knows s) generates a random vector a in qn and
“small” noise element e in 
• The oracle outputs (a, b=<a,s>+e mod 17)
• This procedure is repeated with the same s and fresh a and e
• Our task is to find s

from solving certain lattice problems in the worst case to solving LWE

• How do we define multiplication so that the resulting distribution is pseudorandom?
(Coordinate-wise multiplication is not secure)
• Answer: Define it as multiplication of polynomials over some
carefully-chosen ring
• Similar ideas used in the heuristic design of NTRU [HPS98], and
in compact one-way functions [Mic02,PR06,LM06,…].
Our Results
0. We define a compact version of LWE called Ring-LWE
1. We show that Ring-LWE is as hard as (quantumly) solving
certain lattice problems in the worst case
•
A quantitatively weaker result was independently shown by Stehle,
Steinfeld, Tanaka, and Xagawa [SSTX’09] using different
techniques of independent interest.
2. We show that decision Ring-LWE is as hard as (search) RingLWE
•
Works with any cyclotomic ring
3. We demonstrate some basic cryptographic applications

Our First Result:
Hardness of Search Ring-LWE
• We show that the search ring-LWE problem is as hard as
quantumly solving worst-case lattice problems on ideal
lattices
• In our running example, these are lattices satisfying that if
(x1,…,xn)L then also (x2,…,xn,-x1)L
• The result applies to rather general rings
• The proof is by adapting the proof of [R05] to rings
• The quantum part remains the same; only the classical part needs
to be adapted
Our First Result:
Hardness of Search Ring-LWE
• One technical issue is that the distribution of the
coefficients of the error polynomial e is Gaussian,
but unfortunately not a spherical one
• Luckily this does not cause any serious problems, and we
ignore it here
• It is possible to get hardness for the spherical noise case if
we restrict the number of ring-LWE samples (as in
[SSTX’09] or as a corollary to our main result)
Our Second Result:

Why Does the Search-to-Decision
Reduction for LWE not Work?

• Let g be our guess for the first coordinate of s (only 17 possibilities).
• Repeat the following:

• How do we satisfy (1), namely, output legal ring-LWE samples? It
seems we have to guess n numbers!
The Ring q[x]/xn+1
• Let tq be such that tn=-1 (i.e., a root of xn+1).
• Then, for any p1,p2q[x]/xn+1, p1(t)·p2(t)=(p1·p2)(t), and
obviously p1(t)+p2(t)=(p1+p2)(t), hence the function mapping
p to p(t) is a ring homomorphism
• By our assumption that q=1 (mod 2n), the polynomial xn+1
has n roots in the field q,
t1=g(q-1)/2n, t3=g3(q-1)/2n, …, t2n-1=g(2n-1)(q-1)/2n
• Hence the mapping :Rnq that maps each pR to
n
(p(t1),…,p(t2n-1))q is a ring isomorphism, with both
addition and multiplication in 
n
q being
coordinate-wise
The Search Ring-LWE Problem
• So we can equivalently think of ring-LWE as follows:
n
• The secret is an element ŝ in q
• The elements â are chosen uniformly
n
from q
• Multiplication is coordinate-wise
• The coordinates of the noise
vector ê are chosen from some
‘strange’ distribution
(â1, b̂1 = â1ŝ+e1)
(â2, b̂2= â2ŝ+e2)
…
(âk, b̂k = âkŝ+ek)

• To summarize, using the decision oracle, we are able to find ŝi for
one fixed i
• But how can we recover all of ŝ?

• If the output pairs were legal ring-LWE samples with secret (ŝ),
we would be done
• But why would (ê) be distributed correctly??
Recovering All of s
• It turns out that there are n special permutations 1,…,n that
have the remarkable property that they preserve the error
distribution!
• For instance, assume q=17 and n=4.
• In this case, the mapping  maps each polynomial
•
•
•
•
•
p(x)17[x]/x4+1 to p̂=(p(2),p(23),p(25),p(27)) 174
Now assume we permute this to (p(23),p(2),p(27),p(25))
This is equal to p̂’ where p’(x)=p(x3)
Hence, if p(x)=c0+c1x+c2x2+c3x3 then p’(x)= c0+c1x-c2x2+c3x3
We see that all the permutation does is permute the
coefficients of the polynomial and possibly negate their sign.
In particular, it preserves the error distribution!
Summary of Reduction
• By using a hybrid argument on the decision oracle, we are able to
recover one fixed coordinate of ŝ
• Repeating this procedure with all n permutations allows us to recover
all of ŝ, and hence also s, as required
• Actually, one also need several delicate amplification steps and
random self reductions… details in the paper!
• The reduction might seem mysterious and ad-hoc…
• In fact, we are relying here on the properties of the cyclotomic
number field (2n), its n Galois automorphisms, its canonical
embedding, and the factorization of the ideal q
• Viewed this way, the reduction is easy to extend to all cyclotomic
polynomials (and not just xn+1)
