An Improved Attack on the Basic Merkle–Hellman Knapsack Cryptosystem

Knapsack problem is a famous NP-complete problem, which is believed to be difficult to be solved even by a quantum computer. Hence, this type of cryptosystem is a good candidate for post-quantum cryptography. Recently, many new knapsack-based cryptosystems were proposed. The basic operations of all...
