NTRU: A Public Key Cryptosystem
Jeffrey Hoffstein, Jill Pipher and Joseph H. Silverman, August 1999.
Presented at the August 1999 and October 1999 meetings.
This purpose of this paper is to submit the NTRU public key cryptosystem
for consideration for inclusion into the P1363A standard.
Compared to other public key cryptosystems at roughly equivalent levels
of security, NTRU offers: more efficient encryption and decryption, in
both hardware and software implementations; much faster key generation,
allowing the use of ``disposable'' keys (because keys are
computationally ``cheap'' to create).
NTRU was originally presented by Jeffrey Hoffstein in the rump session
at CRYPTO '96, and was published in 1998. Since that time, NTRU
Cryptosystems, Inc. has issued a number of technical reports. In some
cases, these reports have described amplifications on the techniques in
in order to deal with new attacks (e.g., to deal with issues of
plaintext awareness). In other cases, these reports have described fast
algorithms for carrying out some of the computations required by NTRU.
In this document, we have freely copied from the original paper
introducing NTRU and other NTRU Cryptosystems, Inc. publications
whenever appropriate.
