This paper provides novel insights into channel and subspace codes in nonadaptive channel sensing with a single RF chain. Observing that this problem naturally maps to a noncoherent decoding problem, we show that the sensing performance of…

In the problem of blind reconstruction of channel codes, the receiver does not have the knowledge of the channel code used at the transmitter and the aim is to identify this unknown channel code corresponding to the given received sequence.…

Syndrome coding has been proposed by Crandall in 1998 as a method to stealthily embed a message in a cover-medium through the use of bounded decoding. In 2005, Fridrich et al. introduced wet paper codes to improve the undetectability of the…

We convert Stern's information set decoding (ISD) algorithm to the ring $\mathbb{Z}/4 \mathbb{Z}$ equipped with the Lee metric. Moreover, we set up the general framework for a McEliece and a Niederreiter cryptosystem over this ring. The…

The problem of error-control in random linear network coding is considered. A ``noncoherent'' or ``channel oblivious'' model is assumed where neither transmitter nor receiver is assumed to have knowledge of the channel transfer…

We give a quantum reduction from finding short codewords in a random linear code to decoding for the Hamming metric. This is the first time such a reduction (classical or quantum) has been obtained. Our reduction adapts to linear codes…

The problem of scalar multiplication applied to vectors is considered in the Lee metric. Unlike in other metrics, the Lee weight of a vector may be increased or decreased by the product with a nonzero, nontrivial scalar. This problem is of…

The weighted-Hamming metric generalizes the Hamming metric by assigning different weights to blocks of coordinates. It is well-suited for applications such as coding over independent parallel channels, each of which has a different level of…

We present a scheme for encoding and decoding an unknown state for CSS codes, based on syndrome measurements. We illustrate our method by means of Kitaev toric code, defected-lattice code, topological subsystem code and Haah 3D code. The…

We revisit the 3-pass code-based identification scheme proposed by Stern at Crypto'93, and give a new 5-pass protocol for which the probability of the cheater is 1/2 (instead of 2/3 in the original Stern's proposal). Furthermore, we propose…

In this work we show how to decompose a linear code relatively to any given poset metric. We prove that the complexity of syndrome decoding is determined by a maximal (primary) such decomposition and then show that a refinement of a partial…
