Abstract(in English) In 2017, Ro?ca et al. proposed the Middle-Product LWE (MP-LWE) problem, a new LWE problem variant. The MP-LWE problem mitigates the security risk of the Polynomial LWE in that its security depends on a particular polynomial. The MP-LWE problem can be viewed as a special case of the LWE problem. Therefore, we can use any of the known algorithms for the LWE problem to solve the MP-LWE problem. Two methods for solving the MP-LWE problem have been proposed: one applies the Primal Attack and the other applies Kannan's embedding method. In this study, we propose a method that combines Primal Attack on the MP-LWE problem and a method to control the output of a lattice reduction algorithm. Experimental results show that our attack has a higher success probability than Kannan's embedding method when the error coefficients are all even, as in the MP-LWE-based public key cryptosystem by Ro?ca et al.
