We give polynomial time attacks on the McEliece public key cryptosystem based either on algebraic geometry (AG) codes or on small codimensional subcodes of AG codes. These attacks consist in the blind reconstruction either of an Error…

The McEliece cryptosystem based on quasi-cyclic moderate-density parity-check (QC-MDPC) codes is first purposed in 2013\cite{QCMDPC} and is considered a promising contender in the post-quantum era. Understanding its security is hence…

In this paper we study recent reaction attacks against QC-LDPC and QC-MDPC code-based cryptosystems, which allow an opponent to recover the private parity-check matrix through its distance spectrum by observing a sufficiently high number of…

Quantum computers can break the RSA and El Gamal public-key cryptosystems, since they can factor integers and extract discrete logarithms. If we believe that quantum computers will someday become a reality, we would like to have…

We consider the decoding problem or the problem of finding low weight codewords for rank metric codes. We show how additional information about the codeword we want to find under the form of certain linear combinations of the entries of the…

The main practical limitation of the McEliece public-key encryption scheme is probably the size of its key. A famous trend to overcome this issue is to focus on subclasses of alternant/Goppa codes with a non trivial automorphism group. Such…

We bring in here a novel algebraic approach for attacking the McEliece cryptosystem. It consists in introducing a subspace of matrices representing quadratic forms. Those are associated with quadratic relationships for the component-wise…
