comment How secure is the knapsack?
I am using the special properties of the knapsack (the sum). It is actually meant to be used in another protocol. In my case $X$ (the target sum) is defined by the user. We are free to choose $W$. However, as a first solution, I will be happy even if both $(W, X)$ are freely chosen, as this might be extended even when $X$ is fixed.

comment How secure is the knapsack?
@Ilmari Karonen: Not really, but good point. In my use-case, we don't need the solution, just the problem to be hard. I have updated the question with this information.

comment Reduction from signatures to encryption?
I guess someone would have written a paper on it. If not, it is a good topic for one.

comment How did the Koblitz/Menezes papers affect the cryptography community?
I found several things in the paper interesting and useful. So it has certainly affected my way of thinking. I think we will only see long-term effects. One thing I can foresee is the rebirth of random-oracle model.
