The cryptosystem based on the Learning-with-Errors (LWE) problem is considered as a post-quantum cryptosystem, because it is not based on the factoring problem with large primes which is easily solved by a quantum computer. Moreover, the…

We give a decoding algorithm for a class of error-correcting codes, which can be used in the DHH-cryptosystem, which is a candidate for post-quantum cryptography, since it is of McEliece type. Furthermore, we implement the encryption and…
