Ring SIS

Definition

Ring SIS, or Ring Small Integer Solution, refers to a hard mathematical problem foundational to certain post-quantum cryptographic schemes. This problem is a variant of the Short Integer Solution problem, adapted for algebraic structures known as polynomial rings. The computational difficulty of solving Ring SIS forms the security basis for lattice-based cryptography, a leading candidate for quantum-resistant encryption and digital signatures. Its resistance to quantum algorithms makes it vital for securing digital assets against future quantum computer threats.
