    Abstract:

    In certain designs and applications of practical lattice-based cryptography, the use of a specialized variant of LWE problems, where the public matrix is sampled from a non-uniform distribution, is required to establish the security of the corresponding cryptographic schemes. Recently, the formal definition of LWE problems with semi-uniform seeds was introduced by the community, in which the hardness of Euclidean, ideal, and module lattice-based LWE problems with semi-uniform seeds was proved through reduction approach similar to those employed in the hardness proofs of entropic LWE problems. However, known reduction introduces significant losses in the Gaussian error parameters and lattice dimensions. Moreover, additional non-standard assumptions are required to demonstrate the hardness of LWE problems with semi-uniform seeds over rings. In this paper, a tighter reduction is proposed for LWE problems with semi-uniform seeds by incorporating modified techniques from the hardness proofs of Hint-LWE problems. The proposed reduction is unaffected by the algebraic structure of the underlying problems and can be uniformly applied to Euclidean, ideal, and module lattice-based LWE problems with semi-uniform seeds. The hardness of these LWE problems can be established based on standard LWE assumptions without the need for any additional non-standard assumption. Furthermore, the dimension of corresponding LWE problems remains unchanged, and the reduction introduces only minimal losses in Gaussian error parameters.
