GGH Encryption Algorithm - Example

Example

Let be a lattice with the basis and its inverse

B= \begin{pmatrix} 7 & 0 \\ 0 & 3 \\ \end{pmatrix} and B^{-1}= \begin{pmatrix} \frac{1}{7} & 0 \\ 0 & \frac{1}{3} \\ \end{pmatrix}

With

U = \begin{pmatrix} 2 & 3 \\ 3 &5\\ \end{pmatrix} and
U^{-1} = \begin{pmatrix} 5 & -3 \\ -3 &2\\ \end{pmatrix}

this gives

B' = U B = \begin{pmatrix} 14 & 9 \\ 21 & 15 \\ \end{pmatrix}

Let the message be and the error vector . Then the ciphertext is

To decrypt one must compute

This is rounded to and the message is recovered with

Famous quotes containing the word example:

    “Our intellect is not the most subtle, the most powerful, the most appropriate, instrument for revealing the truth. It is life that, little by little, example by example, permits us to see that what is most important to our heart, or to our mind, is learned not by reasoning but through other agencies. Then it is that the intellect, observing their superiority, abdicates its control to them upon reasoned grounds and agrees to become their collaborator and lackey.”
    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
