Abstract
In this paper, we present a cryptanalysis of a public key cryptosystem based on the matrix combinatorial problem proposed by Wang and Hu (2010). Using lattice-based methods finding small integer solutions of modular linear equations, we recover the secret key of this cryptosystem for a certain range of parameters. In experiments, for the suggested parameters by Wang and Hu, the secret key can be recovered in seconds.
