Construction of error-correction cryptosystem based on ECC and HFE
Huanguo Zhang · Computer Engineering and Applications Journal · 2008
Error-correction cryptosystem can be used to correct transmission errors and encrypt messages.Most of the proposed such systems are based on linear transformation.They are weak in resisting cryptanalysis because of the lack of nonlinear transformation in systems.The authors modify the basic Hidden Field Equations(HFE) into a new error-correction cryptosystem by substituting the generate matrix of an Error-Correction Code(ECC) for the last linear transformation of the basic HFE.The new cryptosystem can be used to correct transmission errors and encrypt messages with high security.
