fplll contains implementations of several lattice algorithms. The implementation relies on floating-point orthogonalization, and LLL [LLL82] is central to the code, hence the name.
It includes implementations of floating-point LLL reduction algorithms [NS09,MSV09], offering different speed/guarantees ratios. It contains a 'wrapper' choosing the estimated best sequence of variants in order to provide a guaranteed output as fast as possible [S10]. In the case of the wrapper, the succession of variants is oblivious to the user.
It includes an implementation of the BKZ reduction algorithm [SE94], including the BKZ-2.0 [CN11] improvements (extreme enumeration pruning, pre-processing of blocks, early termination). Additionally, Slide reduction [GN08] and self dual BKZ [MW16] are supported.
It also includes a floating-point implementation of the Kannan-Fincke-Pohst algorithm [K83,FP85] that finds a shortest non-zero lattice vector. For the same task, the GaussSieve algorithm [MV10] is also available in fplll. Finally, it contains a variant of the enumeration algorithm that computes a lattice vector closest to a given vector belonging to the real span of the lattice.

- QD 2.3.15 or higher (a C++/Fortran-90 double-double and quad-double package), compile and install
the shared library (e.g.
./configure --enable-shared=yes
). http://crd-legacy.lbl.gov/~dhbailey/mpdist/
You should downloaded the source code from github and then run
./autogen.sh
which generates the ./configure
script used to configure fplll by calling the appropriate
autotools command.
Then, to compile and install type
./configure
make
make install # (as root)
If GMP, MPFR and/or MPIR are not in the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
, you have to point to the directories where the libraries are, with
./configure --with-gmp=path/to/gmp
or
./configure --with-mpfr=path/to/mpfr
The same philosophy applies to the (optional) QD library. If you want to use
mpir instead of gmp, use --enable-mpir
and --with-mpir=path/to/mpir
.
You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing make clean
. To also remove the files that ./configure
created (so you can compile the package for a
different kind of computer), type make distclean
. By default, make install
installs the package
commands under /usr/local/bin
, include files under /usr/local/include
, etc. You can specify an
installation directory name other than /usr/local
by giving ./configure
the option
--prefix=dirname
. Run ./configure --help
for further details.
Windows 10 has a "Windows Subsystem for Linux", which essentially allows you to use Linux features in Windows without the need for a dual-boot system or a virtual machine. To activate this, first go to Settings -> Update and security -> For developers and enable developer mode. (This may take a while.) Afterwards, open command prompt and run
lxrun /install
This will install the WSL, and afterwards this system can be accessed e.g. by opening command prompt and typing bash
. With this Linux-like subsystem, installing fplll is then similar to above, except that most likely the package repository is not up to date, and various additional packages need to be installed first. To make sure you only install the most recent software, run:
sudo apt-get update
Then run sudo apt-get install <packages>
for the (indirectly) required packages, such as make
, autoconf
, libtool
, gcc
, g++
, libgmp-dev
, and libmpfr-dev
. Finally, download the fplll source code, extract the contents, navigate to this folder in Bash (commonly found under /mnt/c/<local path>
when stored somewhere on the C:\
drive), and run:
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
The same comments as before apply for using e.g. make install
or make distclean
instead of make
.
Type
make check
The default compilation flag is -O3
. One may use the -march=native -O3
flag to optimize the binaries. See "this issue" for its impact on the enumeration speed.
Executable files fplll
and latticegen
are installed in the directory
/usr/local/bin
. (Note that the programs generated by make
in the fplll/
directory are only wrappers to the programs in fplll/.libs/
).
If you type make check
, it will also generate the executable file llldiff
,
in fplll/.libs/
.
latticegen
is a utility for generating matrices (rows form input
lattice basis vectors).
The options are:
r
d
b
: generates a knapsack like matrix of dimension d x (d+1) and b bits (see, e.g., [S09]): the i-th vector starts with a random integer of bit-length <=b and the rest is the i-th canonical unit vector.s
d
b
b2
: generates a d x d matrix of a form similar to that is involved when trying to find rational approximations to reals with the same small denominator (see, e.g., [LLL82]): the first vector starts with a random integer of bit-length <=b2 and continues with d-1 independent integers of bit-lengths <=b; the i-th vector for i>1 is the i-th canonical unit vector scaled by a factor 2^b.u
d
b
: generates a d x d matrix whose entries are independent integers of bit-lengths <=b.n
d
b
c
: generates an ntru-like matrix. If char is 'b', then it first samples an integer q of bit-length <=b, whereas if char is 'q', then it sets q to the provided value. Then it samples a uniform h in the ring Z_q[x]/(x^n-1). It finally returns the 2 x 2 block matrix [[I, Rot(h)], [0, q*I]], where each block is d x d, the first row of Rot(h) is the coefficient vector of h, and the i-th row of Rot(h) is the shift of the (i-1)-th (with last entry put back in first position), for all i>1. Warning: this does not produce a genuine ntru lattice with h a genuine public key (see [HPS98]).N
d
b
c
: as the previous option, except that the contructed matrix is [[q*I, 0], [Rot(h), I]].q
d
k
b
c
: generates a q-ary matrix. If char is 'b', then it first samples an integer q of bit-length <=b; if char is 'p', it does the same and updates q to the smallest (probabilistic) prime that is greater; if char is 'q', then it sets q to the provided value. It returns a 2 x 2 block matrix [[I, H], [0, q*I]], where H is (d-k) x k and uniformly random modulo q. These bases correspond to the SIS/LWE q-ary lattices (see [MR09]). Goldstein-Mayer lattices correspond to k=1 and q prime (see [GM03]).t
d
f
: generates a d x d lower-triangular matrix B with B_ii = 2^(d-i+1)^f for all i, and B_ij is uniform between -B_jj/2 and B_jj/2 for all j<i.T
d
: also takes as input a d-dimensional vector vec read from a file. It generates a d x d lower-triangular matrix B with B_ii = vec[i] for all i and B_ij is uniform between -B_jj/2 and B_jj/2 for all j<i.
The generated matrix is printed in stdout.
Note that by default, the random bits always use the same seed, to ensure reproducibility. The seed may be changed with the option -randseed <integer>
or by using the current time (in seconds) -randseed time
. If you use this option, it must be the first one on the command line.
fplll
does LLL, BKZ, HKZ or SVP on a matrix (considered as a set of row
vectors) given in stdin or in a file as parameter.
The options are:
-
-a lll
: LLL-reduction (default). -
-a bkz
: BKZ-reduction. -
-a hkz
: HKZ-reduction. -
-a svp
: prints a shortest non-zero vector of the lattice. -
-a sdb
: self dual variant of BKZ-reduction. -
-a sld
: slide reduction. -
-a cvp
: prints the vector in the lattice closest to the input vector. -
-v
: verbose mode. -
-nolll
: does not apply to LLL-reduction. In the case of bkz, hkz and svp, by default, the input basis is LLL-reduced before anything else. This option allows to remove that initial LLL-reduction (note that other calls to LLL-reduction may occur during the execution). In the cas of hlll, verify if the input basis is HLLL-reduced. -
-a hlll
: HLLL-reduction.
Options for LLL-reduction:
-
-d delta
: δ (default=0.99) -
-e eta
: η (default=0.51). See [NS09] for the definition of (δ,η)-LLL-reduced bases. -
-l lovasz
: if !=0 Lovasz's condition. Otherwise, Siegel's condition (default: Lovasz). See [A02] for the definition of Siegel condition. -
-f mpfr
: sets the floating-point type to MPFR (default ifm=proved
). -
-p precision
: precision of the floating-point arithmetic, works only with-f mpfr
. -
-f dd
: sets the floating-point type to double-double. -
-f qd
: sets the floating-point type to quad-double. -
-f dpe
: sets the floating-point type to DPE (default ifm=heuristic
). -
-f double
: sets the floating-point type to double (default ifm=fast
). -
-f longdouble
: sets the floating-point type to long double. -
-z mpz
: sets the integer type to mpz, the integer type of GMP (default). -
-z int
: sets the integer type to int. -
-z long
: as-z int
. -
-z double
: sets the integer type to double. -
-m wrapper
: uses the wrapper. (default ifz=mpz
). -
-m fast
: uses the fast method, works only with-f double
. -
-m heuristic
: uses the heuristic method. -
-m proved
: uses the proved version of the algorithm. -
-y
: early reduction.
With the wrapper or the proved version, it is guaranteed that the basis is LLL-reduced with δ'=2×δ-1 and η'=2×η-1/2. For instance, with the default options, it is guaranteed that the basis is (0.98,0.52)-LLL-reduced.
Options for BKZ-reduction:
-
-b block_size
: block size, mandatory, between 2 and the number of vectors. -
-f float_type
: same as LLL (-p
is required iffloat_type=mpfr
). -
-p precision
: precision of the floating-point arithmetic with-f mpfr
. -
-bkzmaxloops loops
: maximum number of full loop iterations. -
-bkzmaxtime time
: stops aftertime
seconds (up to completion of the current loop iteration). -
-bkzautoabort
: stops when the average slope of the log ||b_i*||'s does not decrease fast enough.
Without any of the last three options, BKZ runs until no block has been updated for a full loop iteration.
-
-s filename.json
: use strategies for preprocessing and pruning paramater (/strategies/default.json provided). Experimental. -
-bkzghbound factor
: multiplies the Gaussian heuristic byfactor
(of float type) to set the enumeration radius of the SVP calls. -
-bkzboundedlll
: restricts the LLL call before considering a block to vector indices within that block. -
-bkzdumgso file_name
: dumps the log ||b_i*|| 's in specified file.
Output formats:
-of
: prints new line (if-a [lll|bkz]
)-of b
: prints the basis (if-a [lll|bkz]
, this value by default)-of bk
: prints the basis (if-a [lll|bkz]
, format compatible with sage)-of c
: prints the closest vector (if-a cvp
, this value by default)-of s
: prints the closest vector (if-a svp
, this value by default)-of t
: prints status (if-a [lll|bkz|cvp|svp]
)-of u
: prints unimodular matrix (if-a [lll|bkz]
)-of uk
: prints unimodular matrix (if-a [lll|bkz]
, format compatible with sage)-of v
: prints inverse of u (if-a lll
)-of vk
: prints inverse of u (if-a lll
, format compatible with sage)
A combination of these option is allowed (e.g., -of bkut
).
Only for -a hlll
:
-t theta
: θ (default=0.001). See [MSV09] for the definition of (δ,η,θ)-HLLL-reduced bases.-c c
: constant for HLLL during the size-reduction (only used iffplll
is compiled with-DHOUSEHOLDER_USE_SIZE_REDUCTION_TEST
)
llldiff
compares two bases (b1,...,bd) and (c1,...c_d'): they are considered
equal iff d=d' and for any i, bi = +- ci. Concretely, if basis B is in file 'B.txt' and if basis C is in file 'C.txt' (in the fplll format), then one may run cat B.txt C.txt | ./llldiff
.
latsieve
does (tuple) lattice sieve on a matrix (considered as a set of row
vectors) given in a file as parameter. You may compile it by using make latsieve
.
It will generate the executable file
latsieve
in fplll/
which is a wrapper of fplll/.libs/latsieve
.
The options are:
-a nnn
: nnn is the tuple algorithm to use (default 2 corresponding to GaussSieve)-f filename
: follows input matrix-b nnn
: BKZ preprocessing of blocksize nnn (optional)-t nnn
: targeted square norm for stoping sieving (optional)-s nnn
: using seed=nnn (optional)-v
: verbose toggle
See API documentation.
This library does not currently use multiple cores and running multiple threads working on the same object IntegerMatrix
, LLLReduction
, MatGSO
etc. is not supported. Running multiple threads working on different objects, however, is supported. That is, there are no global variables and it is safe to e.g. reduce several lattices in parallel in the same process.
