Management of confidentiality of cryptosystems using linear codes a bird’s eye view
Management of confidentiality of cryptosystems using linear codes a bird’s eye view
In this paper, we investigate the management of confidentiality in terms of security notions of McEliece cryptosystem, the first encryption scheme using linear codes, proposed on the basis of the hard problems in coding theory and its variants in the provably secure approach. The original McEliece is only a one way function. Therefore to obtain the higher notions of security, modifications on the original scheme are proposed.
