N2 - The learning with errors (LWE) problem assures the security of modern lattice-based cryptosystems. It can be reduced to classical lattice problems such as the shortest vector problem (SVP) and the closest vector problem (CVP). In particular, the search-LWE problem is reduced to a particular case of SVP by Kannan’s embedding technique. Lattice basis reduction is a mandatory tool to solve lattice problems. In this paper, we give a new strategy to solve the search-LWE problem by lattice reduction over projected bases. Compared with a conventional method of reducing a whole lattice basis, our strategy reduces only a part of the basis and, hence, it gives a practical speed-up in solving the problem. We also develop a reduction algorithm for a projected basis, and apply it to solving several instances in the LWE challenge, which has been initiated since the middle of 2016 in order to assess the hardness of the LWE problem.
