چکیده

Two variations of the McEliece cryptosystem are presented. The first one is based on a relaxation of the column permutation in the classical McEliece scrambling process. This is done in such a way that the Hamming weight of the error, added in the encryption process, can be controlled so that efficient decryption remains possible. The second variation is based on the use of spatially coupled moderate-density paritycheck codes as secret codes. These codes are known for their excellent error-correction performance and allow for a relatively low key size in the cryptosystem. For both variants the security with respect to known attacks is discussed.

Quantum McEliece public-key cryptosystem

The McEliece cryptosystem is one of the best-known (classical) public-key cryptosystems, which is based on algebraic coding theory. In this paper, we present a quantum analogue of the classical McEliece cryptosystem. Our quantumMcEliece public-key cryptosystem is based on the theory of stabilizer codes and has the key generation, encryption and decryption algorithms similar to those in the clas...

Strengthening McEliece Cryptosystem

McEliece cryptosystem is a public-key cryptosystem based on error-correcting codes. It constitutes one of the few alternatives to cryptosystems relying on number theory. We present a modification of the McEliece cryptosystem which strengthens its security without increasing the size of the public key. We show that it is possible to use some properties of the automorphism groups of the codes to ...

Simple Power Analysis Attack on the Qc-ldpc Mceliece Cryptosystem

It is known that a naive implementation of the decryption algorithm in the McEliece cryptosystem allows an attacker to recover the secret matrix P by measuring the power consumption. We demonstrate that a similar threat is present in the QC-LDPC variant of the McEliece cryptosystem. We consider a naive implementation of the decryption algorithm in the QC-LDPC McEliece cryptosystem. We demonstra...

A note on quantum McEliece public-key cryptosystem

Inspired by Fujita’s analysis [Quantum inf. & comput. 12(3&4), 2012], we suggest a twice-encryption scheme to improve the security of the original quantum McEliece public-key encryption algorithm.

Fault injection's sensitivity of the McEliece PKC

The McEliece public key cryptosystem (PKC) is supposed secure in a post quantum world [2] because there is no e cient quantum algorithm for the underlying problems, which this cryptosystem is built upon. The purpose of this article is to describe in what the structure of the McEliece PKC is sensitive to fault injection. We present the injection fault in the McEliece scheme using Goppa codes and...
