The Noise Hides the Vector

The Noise Hides the Vector

Lattice-based cryptography abandons the algebraic hardness of factoring primes for the geometric hardness of high-dimensional grids. By intentionally adding small amounts of mathematical error to the coordinates, the shortest path becomes computationally invisible, trapping quantum algorithms in a maze of approximations. The noise hides the vector.
