....: 85 vii viii LIST OF FIGURES Introduction In 1985 Lagarias and Odlyzko [26] developed a general attack on knapsack cryptosystems which reduces solving subset sum problems to the problem of finding the Euclidean norm shortest nonzero vector in a point lattice. Recent improvements to this attack [12, 19] have stimulated interest in finding lattice basis reduction algorithms well suited to the lattices associated with subset sum problems. This thesis studies a new approach to lattice basis reduction originally developed by M. Seysen [38] Seysen s reduction algorithm was initially developed to ....
....larger and denser subset sum problems. Given the existence of a lattice oracle, the analysis in [26] shows that it is possible to solve almost all subset sum problems of density d 0:6463 : in polynomial time. Recently, Coster, LaMacchia, Odlyzko and Schnorr [12] and Joux and Stern [19] independently demonstrated via different techniques that this bound could be improved to d 0:9408. In fact, if we assume the existence of a sup norm lattice oracle instead of a Euclidean norm lattice oracle, 12] showed that the density bound then becomes d 1. The Lagarias Odlyzko attack ....

....of the same problem. The modification of the Lagarias Odlyzko attack described in Section 3 is due to Coster, LaMacchia, Odlyzko and Schnorr, and an extended abstract of it appears in [5] The other modification, outlined in Section 4, is due to Joux and Stern, and was presented earlier in [12]. 2. Previous results In [13] Lagarias and Odlyzko show that if the density is bounded by 0:6463 : the lattice oracle is guaranteed to find the solution vector with high probability. This section derives the 0:6463 : bound using simpler techniques due to Frieze [8] Our presentation ....
