Title:
The Niederreiter cryptosystem and Quasi-Cyclic codes

Authors: Upendra Kapshikar, Ayan Mahalanobis

Abstract:

McEliece and Niederreiter cryptosystems are robust and versatile cryptosystems. These cryptosystems work with any linear error-correcting codes. They are popular these days because they can be quantum-secure. In this paper, we study the Niederreiter cryptosystem using quasi-cyclic codes. We prove, if these quasi-cyclic codes satisfy certain conditions, the corresponding Niederreiter cryptosystem is resistant to the hidden subgroup problem using quantum Fourier sampling. Our proof requires the classification of finite simple groups.
