The concept of Public- key cryptosystem was innovated by McEliece's cryptosystem. The public key cryptosystem based on rank codes was presented in 1991 by Gabidulin -Paramonov-Trejtakov(GPT). The use of rank codes in cryptographic…

Different variants of the code-based McEliece cryptosystem were pro- posed to reduce the size of the public key. All these variants use very structured codes, which open the door to new attacks exploiting the underlying structure. In this…

Generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS) and Gabidulin codes have been proposed for various code-based cryptosystems, though most such schemes without elaborate disguising techniques have been successfully attacked. Both code classes are prominent…

This paper studies a variant of the McEliece cryptosystem able to ensure that the code used as the public key is no longer permutation-equivalent to the secret code. This increases the security level of the public key, thus opening the way…

In this paper, we propose a new variant of the McEliece cryptosystem using two families of quasi-cyclic codes: low density parity check codes (QC-LDPC) and moderate density parity check codes (QC-MDPC). Due to the low weight codewords in…
