Abstract

In this paper, we present an algorithm for solving the Lattice Isomorphism Problem between input lattices that are isometric to the Construction A lattice of a certain code C. Our algorithm is a direct extension of a method due to Ducas and Gibbons (PKC 2023). We prove that the run time of our algorithm is $2^{O(n)}$ and that its success probability is $1+o(1)$ over a random choice of C. Crucially, our method works when the hull of C has arbitrary dimension while the method of Ducas and Gibbons is restricted to the case of a trivial hull.
