By solving a problem regarding polynomials in a quotient ring, we obtain the relative hull and the Hermitian hull of projective Reed-Muller codes over the projective plane. The dimension of the hull determines the minimum number of…
Many combinatorial optimisation problems hide algebraic structures that, once exposed, shrink the search space and improve the chance of finding the global optimal solution. We present a general framework that (i) identifies algebraic…
McEliece cryptosystem represents a smart open key system based on the hardness of the decoding of an arbitrary linear code, which is believed to be able to resist the advent of quantum computers. But the original McEliece cryptosystem,…
Fine-grained Address Space Randomization has been considered as an effective protection against code reuse attacks such as ROP/JOP. However, it only employs a one-time randomization, and such a limitation has been exploited by recent…

Quantum-based cryptographic protocols are often said to enjoy security guaranteed by the fundamental laws of physics. However, even carefully designed quantum-based cryptographic schemes may be susceptible to subtle attacks that are outside…
Different quantum error correction schemes trade off overhead, error suppression, and hardware connectivity. Code concatenation can relax these tradeoffs by using an outer code whose non-local connectivity is supplied by logical operations…

We present a new distinguisher for alternant and Goppa codes, whose complexity is subexponential in the error-correcting capability, hence better than that of generic decoding algorithms. Moreover it does not suffer from the strong regime…
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…
A scheme is presented based on numbers that represent a manifold in $d$ dimensions for generalizations of textbook cryptosystems. The interlocking or intersection of geometries, requiring the addition of a series of integers $q_j$, can be…
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…
