How long do you think people have been working on lattice cryptography?

• philodeon 1y ago
  Lattices themselves have been analyzed since the days of Gauss. Lattice cryptography is only a couple decades old (in the unclassified literature). The first proposed lattice-based cryptosystem was completely broken within 2 years of its announcement, which is an lovely harbinger of Kyber’s fate.

    That's a funny claim given NTRU goes back to 1996 and was a PQC finalist. I barely know what I'm talking about here and even I think you're bluffing your way through this. At this point you're making arguments Bernstein would presumably himself reject!

      Since you've been very strident throughout this thread I'm wondering if you're going to have a response to this. Similarly, I'm curious, as a scholar of Bernstein's cryptography writing --- did the MOV attack (prominently featured on Safecurves) serve as a lovely harbinger of the failure of elliptic curve cryptography?
