The Improved McEliece PKC and its Security Analysis
Si Min Liu, Jun Yao Ye · Advanced materials research · 2014
Because the decoding problem of general linear codes is an NPC problem, at the same time Goppa codes have fast decoding algorithm, McEliece first proposed a public-key cryptosystem based on error-correcting codes. This paper constructs the largest distance codes based on metric, then improves the McEliece cryptosystem based on the largest distance codes. We've proved that the cryptosystem is able to resist the attack of getting the private key by a known public key. Finally, through the analysis of existing viable attack method, we proved the feasibility and security of the improved McEliece cryptosystem.
