LCD Codes as a Counter-Measure for Relevant Security Threats: A Survey
Md Ajaharul Hossain, Ramakrishna Bandi · 2021
This review article discusses linear complementary duals over finite fields as counter-measures to side-channel attacks, faulty injection attacks, hardware trojan horse attacks, etc. We first discuss some security attacks and the need for linear complementary codes. Then introduce the linear complementary dual codes and study their properties. Some constructions and bounds on the linear complementary codes over finite fields are emphasised. Linear complementary dual codes with respect to different inner products such as Hermitian, Galois, Sigma, etc., are considered in our discussion. We end the survey with some comments on codes over rings.
