Abstract

In this paper, a class of linear authentication codes with secrecy are constructed, which have simple encoding rules and are easy to implement. Based on the special Weil sum, the maximum success probabilities of substitution attack and impersonation attack are calculated, and these codes are proven to be asymptotically optimal with respect to certain bounds.
