A Public-key Encryption Scheme Based on Maximum Rank Distance Codes
Shixin Zhu · Microelectronics & Computer · 2006
Based on maximum rank distance codes, an improving McElience public-key cryptosystem is proposed. Feasibility and security of this scheme are discussed and it is proved that this scheme is more secure than the McElience public-key cryptosystem based on error-correcting codes. Moreover, using one-way function, the cryptosystem is effective for message resent attack and related message attack.
