Ring-LWE Assumption

Definition

The Ring-LWE (Learning With Errors) assumption is a mathematical problem considered computationally hard, even for quantum computers, forming the basis for several post-quantum cryptographic schemes. It involves finding a secret short vector in a specific algebraic structure, making it a candidate for building quantum-resistant encryption and digital signatures. The hardness of this problem provides a theoretical foundation for cryptographic security in a post-quantum computing era. It is a critical component in the development of future-proof security protocols.
