Cryptography, Volume 10, Issue 2

2026 April - 13 articles

Cover Story: Quantum computing threatens traditional PKC, and lattice-based cryptography is the core PQC candidate, whose concrete security largely depends on lattice problems solved by classical lattice algorithms. Existing surveys focus on cryptosystem design and standardization, with only cursory coverage of these foundational algorithms. This paper provides the first systematic survey of classical lattice algorithms, classifying them into approximate (LLL, BKZ, G6K, etc.) and exact algorithms (enumeration, sieving, etc.). We trace their evolution, clarify logical connections and core mechanisms, and identify key future research directions. This work guides beginners and supports experienced researchers, facilitating security evaluation of lattice cryptosystems and new algorithm design. View this paper
