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 MXL 3 algorithm, an efficient algorithm for computing Gröbner basis, to solve these scaled versions. We review the MXL 3 strategy and introduce our experimental results.
