(Ring-)LWE oracle generators¶

The Learning with Errors problem (LWE) is solving linear systems of equations where the right hand side has been disturbed ‘slightly’ where ‘slightly’ is made precise by a noise distribution - typically a discrete Gaussian distribution. See [Reg09] for details.

The Ring Learning with Errors problem (LWE) is solving a set of univariate polynomial equations - typically in a cyclotomic field - where the right hand side was disturbed ‘slightly’. See [LPR10] for details.

This module implements generators of LWE samples where parameters are chosen following proposals in the cryptographic literature.

EXAMPLES:

We get 30 samples from an LWE oracle parameterised by security parameter n=20 and where the modulus and the standard deviation of the noise are chosen as in [Reg09]:

sage: from sage.crypto.lwe import samples
sage: samples(30, 20, 'Regev')
[((360, 264, 123, 368, 398, 392, 41, 84, 25, 389, 311, 68, 322, 41, 161, 372, 222, 153, 243, 381), 122),
...
((155, 22, 357, 312, 87, 298, 182, 163, 296, 181, 219, 135, 164, 308, 248, 320, 64, 166, 214, 104), 152)]

We may also pass classes to the samples function, which is useful for users implementing their own oracles:

sage: from sage.crypto.lwe import samples, LindnerPeikert
sage: samples(30, 20, LindnerPeikert)
[((1275, 168, 1529, 2024, 1874, 1309, 16, 1869, 1114, 1696, 1645, 618, 1372, 1273, 683, 237, 1526, 879, 1305, 1355), 950),
...
((1787, 2033, 1677, 331, 1562, 49, 796, 1002, 627, 98, 91, 711, 1712, 418, 2024, 163, 1773, 184, 1548, 3), 1815)]

Finally, samples() also accepts instances of classes:

sage: from sage.crypto.lwe import LindnerPeikert
sage: lwe = LindnerPeikert(20)
sage: samples(30, 20, lwe)
[((465, 180, 440, 706, 1367, 106, 1380, 614, 1162, 1354, 1098, 2036, 1974, 1417, 1502, 1431, 863, 1894, 1368, 1771), 618),
...
((1050, 1017, 1314, 1310, 1941, 2041, 484, 104, 1199, 1744, 161, 1905, 679, 1663, 531, 1630, 168, 1559, 1040, 1719), 1006)]

Note that Ring-LWE samples are returned as vectors:

sage: from sage.crypto.lwe import RingLWE
sage: from sage.stats.distributions.discrete_gaussian_polynomial import DiscreteGaussianDistributionPolynomialSampler
sage: D = DiscreteGaussianDistributionPolynomialSampler(ZZ['x'], euler_phi(16), 5)
sage: ringlwe = RingLWE(16, 257, D, secret_dist='uniform')
sage: samples(30, euler_phi(16), ringlwe)
[((41, 78, 232, 79, 223, 85, 26, 68), (195, 99, 106, 57, 93, 113, 23, 68)),
...
((185, 89, 244, 122, 249, 140, 173, 142), (98, 196, 70, 49, 55, 8, 158, 57))]

One technical issue when working with these generators is that by default they return vectors and scalars over/in rings modulo some \(q\). These are represented as elements in \((0,q-1)\) by Sage. However, it usually is more natural to think of these entries as integers in \((-q//2,q//2)\). To allow for this, this module provides the option to balance the representation. In this case vectors and scalars over/in the integers are returned:

sage: from sage.crypto.lwe import samples
sage: samples(30, 20, 'Regev', balanced=True)
[((-105, 43, -25, -16, 57, 141, -108, 92, -173, 4, 179, -191, 164, 101, -16, -175, 172, 10, 147, 1), 114),
...
((-166, -147, 120, -56, 130, 163, 83, 17, -125, -159, -124, 19, 198, -181, -124, -155, 84, -15, -113, 113), 39)]

class sage.crypto.lwe.LWE(n, q, D, secret_dist='uniform', m=None)¶

Bases: sage.structure.sage_object.SageObject

Learning with Errors (LWE) oracle.

__init__(n, q, D, secret_dist='uniform', m=None)¶

Construct an LWE oracle in dimension n over a ring of order q with noise distribution D.

INPUT:

n - dimension (integer > 0)
q - modulus typically > n (integer > 0)
D - an error distribution such as an instance of DiscreteGaussianDistributionIntegerSampler or UniformSampler
secret_dist - distribution of the secret (default: ‘uniform’); one of
- “uniform” - secret follows the uniform distribution in \(\Zmod{q}\)
- “noise” - secret follows the noise distribution
- (lb,ub) - the secret is chosen uniformly from [lb,...,ub] including both endpoints
m - number of allowed samples or None if no such limit exists (default: None)

EXAMPLE:

First, we construct a noise distribution with standard deviation 3.0:

sage: from sage.stats.distributions.discrete_gaussian_integer import DiscreteGaussianDistributionIntegerSampler
sage: D = DiscreteGaussianDistributionIntegerSampler(3.0)

Next, we construct our oracle:

sage: from sage.crypto.lwe import LWE
sage: lwe = LWE(n=20, q=next_prime(400), D=D); lwe
LWE(20, 401, Discrete Gaussian sampler over the Integers with sigma = 3.000000 and c = 0, 'uniform', None)

and sample 1000 samples:

sage: L = [lwe() for _ in range(1000)]

To test the oracle, we use the internal secret to evaluate the samples in the secret:

sage: S = [ZZ(a.dot_product(lwe._LWE__s) - c) for (a,c) in L]

However, while Sage represents finite field elements between 0 and q-1 we rely on a balanced representation of those elements here. Hence, we fix the representation and recover the correct standard deviation of the noise:

sage: sqrt(variance([e if e <= 200 else e-401 for e in S]).n())
3.0...

If m is not None the number of available samples is restricted:

sage: from sage.crypto.lwe import LWE
sage: lwe = LWE(n=20, q=next_prime(400), D=D, m=30)
sage: _ = [lwe() for _ in range(30)]
sage: lwe() # 31
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
IndexError: Number of available samples exhausted.
