SIVP ⇒ SIS

SIVP implies SIS.

Statement

Migrated verbatim from shortest-integer-solution § Worst-case hardness:

Solving SIS on average (over a uniformly random ) is at least as hard as approximating the Shortest Vector Problem (GapSVP) and the Shortest Independent Vectors Problem (SIVP) to within polynomial factors in the worst caseAjt96. This is a classical (non-quantum) worst-case-to-average-case reduction: any efficient algorithm that breaks SIS with noticeable probability on random inputs can be converted into an efficient algorithm for these worst-case lattice problems.

Notes

class: unstated: no citing page says which notion of reduction is meant. Recording a class the wiki does not state would add a claim.

Recorded during migration and not fixed — these are claims about the source text, not changes to it:

  • Second of the two reductions packed into one bullet.
  • SIVP has no wiki page.
