Weight two masking of the reed-solomon structure in conjunction with list decoding


Khaturia, Karan; Rosenthal, Joachim; Weger, Violetta (2018). Weight two masking of the reed-solomon structure in conjunction with list decoding. In: 23rd International Symposium on Mathematical Theory of Networks and Systems, Hong Kong, 16 July 2018 - 20 July 2018, 309-314.

Abstract

We present a code-based cryptosystem, in which we use Reed-Solomon codes as secret codes and a weight two matrix for masking, to make the system secure against attacks based on the Schur product. We combine this with the Guruswami-Sudan list decoding for decryption to get lower key sizes. As a consequence, we obtain a key size reduction of 21:8% compared to the standard McEliece cryptosystem proposed by Bernstein et al.
