Abstract
The article contains a description of a possible attack on a matching cryptosystem and a defense with limited noise. A public key of a matching cryposystem consists of a graph and a weight vector-function on the edges of the graph with values from a finite field, where a private key contains another weight function, for which the corresponding alternating weighted path problem can be solved in polynomial time. There is a specific family of these secret weight functions that is considered in this article, for which some of the coordinates of its vector values are described as limited noise. We suggest a necessary condition for the matching cryptosystem stability in terms of dimensions of spans of weight vectors that correspond to specific sets of edges of the graph from the public key.
