Abstract

In this paper, we present an experimental analysis of HFE Challenge 2 (144 bit) type systems. We generate scaled versions of the full challenge fixing and guessing some unknowns. We use the MXL3 algorithm, an efficient algorithm for computing Gröbner basis, to solve these scaled versions. We review the MXL3 strategy and introduce our experimental results.
