Title:
Decoding Quasi-Cyclic codes is NP-complete

Authors: Ernesto Dominguez Fiallo, Pablo Freyre Arrozarena, Luis Ramiro Piñeiro

Abstract:

We prove that the problem of decoding a Quasi-Cyclic (QC) code is NP-hard, and the corresponding decision problem is NP-complete. Our proof is based on a new characterization of quasi-cyclic codes closely related to linear random codes. We also discuss the cryptographic significance of this result.
