Abstract: The scaled inverse of a nonzero element a(x)inmathbbZ[x]/f(x), where f(x) is an irreducible polynomial over mathbbZ, is the element b(x)inmathbbZ[x]/f(x) such that a(x)b(x)=cpmodf(x) for the smallest possible positive integer scale c. In this paper, we investigate the scaled inverse of (xi−xj) modulo cyclotomic polynomial of the form Phips(x) or Phipsqt(x), where p,q are primes with p<q and s,t are positive integers. Our main results are that the coefficient size of the scaled inverse of (xi−xj) is bounded by p−1 with the scale p modulo Phips(x), and is bounded by q−1 with the scale not greater than q modulo Phipsqt(x). Previously, the analogous result on cyclotomic polynomials of the form Phi2n(x) gave rise to many lattice-based cryptosystems, especially, zero-knowledge proofs. Our result provides more flexible choice of cyclotomic polynomials in such cryptosystems. Along the way of proving the theorems, we also prove several properties of xkkinmathbbZ in mathbbZ[x]/Phipq(x) which might be of independent interest.
