### Paper: A Note on the Security of NTRUSign

Authors: Phong Q. Nguyen URL: http://eprint.iacr.org/2006/387 Search ePrint Search Google At Eurocrypt '06, Nguyen and Regev presented a new key-recovery attack on the Goldreich-Goldwasser-Halevi (GGH) lattice-based signature scheme: when applied to NTRUSign-251 without perturbation, the attack recovers the secret key given only 90,000 signatures. At the rump session, Whyte speculated whether the number of required signatures might be significantly decreased to say 1,000, due to the special properties of NTRU lattices. This short note shows that this is indeed the case: it turns out that as few as 400 NTRUSign-251 signatures are sufficient in practice to recover the secret key. Hence, NTRUSign without perturbation should be considered totally insecure.
