  • Recently, Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), which is secure against attacks using quantum computers, has been actively studied. In 2022, the KpqC competition, a competition for domestic PQC standardization, was launched, and a total of 16 candidate algorithms were received, and the first round is underway. In this paper, we apply Alexander May's Meet-LWE attack to TiGER, a lattice-based key encapsulation mechanism that is a candidate for the first round of the KpqC competition, and analyze its concrete attack complexity. The computational results of applying the Meet-LWE attack to each of the proposed parameters of TiGER show that the proposed TiGER192 parameter, which targets 192-bit quantum security, actually achieves 170-bit classical security. In addition, we propose a parameter setting to increase the attack complexity against the Meet-LWE attack.
