The Matsumoto-Imai (MI) cryptosystem was the first multivariate public key cryptosystem proposed for practical use. Though MI is now considered insecure due to Patarin’s linearization attack, the core idea of MI has been used to construct many variants such as Sflash, which has recently been accepted for use in the New European Schemes for Signatures, Integrity, and Encryption project. Linearization attacks take advantage of the algebraic structure of MI to produce a set of equations that can be used to recover the plaintext from a given ciphertext. In our paper, we present a solution to the problem of finding the dimension of the space of linearization equations, a measure of how much work the attack will require.
