Module SIS Problem

Definition

The Module SIS (Short Integer Solution) problem is a mathematical problem foundational to the security of many lattice-based cryptographic schemes. It involves finding a short, non-zero integer vector that satisfies a given system of linear equations over a module. The hardness of solving this problem on average is a key assumption for the security of cryptographic primitives designed to be resistant to quantum computer attacks. It is a generalization of the standard SIS problem.
