class cryptographic_estimators.MQEstimator.MQAlgorithms.kpg.KPG(problem: MQProblem, **kwargs)

Bases: MQAlgorithm

Construct an instance of KPG estimator.

The KPG is an algorithm to solve a quadratic system of equations over fields of even characteristic [KPG99].

Parameters:

• problem (MQProblem) – MQProblem object including all necessary parameters.

• w (float) – Linear algebra constant (2 <= w <= 3). (default: 2.81)

• memory_access (int) – Specifies the memory access cost model (default: 0, choices: 0 - constant, 1 - logarithmic, 2 - square-root, 3 - cube-root or deploy custom function which takes as input the logarithm of the total memory usage).

• complexity_type (int) – Complexity type to consider (0: estimate, 1: tilde O comp).

Examples

>>> from cryptographic_estimators.MQEstimator.MQAlgorithms.kpg import KPG
>>> from cryptographic_estimators.MQEstimator.mq_problem import MQProblem
>>> E = KPG(MQProblem(n=183, m=12, q=4), w=2.8)
>>> E
KPG estimator for the MQ problem with 183 variables and 12 polynomials

Tests:

>>> E.problem.nvariables() == E.nvariables_reduced()
