SIS Problem

Definition

The SIS Problem, or Short Integer Solution problem, is a fundamental computational problem in lattice-based cryptography, forming the security basis for several post-quantum cryptographic schemes. It involves finding a short, non-zero integer vector in a given lattice that satisfies certain conditions. The assumed hardness of the SIS problem against both classical and quantum algorithms makes it a critical component for building cryptographic systems resistant to future quantum attacks. Its complexity ensures the security of these advanced encryption methods.
