Decryption Thorough Polynomial Ambiguity: Noise-Enhanced High-Memory Convolutional Codes for Post-Quantum Cryptography

We present a novel approach to post-quantum cryptography that employs directed-graph decryption of noise-enhanced high-memory convolutional codes. The proposed construction generates random-like generator matrices that effectively conceal algebraic structure and resist known structural attacks...

The Tangent Space Attack

We propose a new method for retrieving the algebraic structure of a generic alternant code given an arbitrary generator matrix, provided certain conditions are met. We then discuss how this challenges the security of the McEliece cryptosystem instantiated with this family of codes. The central...

Post-Quantum Cryptography: an Analysis of Code-Based and Lattice-Based Cryptosystems

Most modern cryptographic systems, such as RSA and the Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange, rely on "trapdoor" mathematical functions that are presumed to be computationally difficult with existing tools. However, quantum computers will be able to break these systems using Shor's Algorithm, necessitating...

NIST Announces First Four Quantum-Resistant Cryptographic Algorithms

NISTs post-quantum computing cryptography standard process is entering its final phases. It announced the first four algorithms: For general encryption, used when we access secure websites, NIST has selected the CRYSTALS-Kyber algorithm. Among its advantages are comparatively small encryption key...
