Title:
On the security of REDOG

Authors: Tanja Lange, Alex Pellegrini, Alberto Ravagnani

Abstract:

We analyze REDOG, a public-key encryption system submitted to the Korean
competition on post-quantum cryptography.
REDOG is based on rank-metric codes. We prove its incorrectness and attack its
implementation providing an efficient message recovery attack. Furthermore, we
show that the security of REDOG is much lower than claimed. We then
proceed to mitigate these issues and provide two approaches to fix the
decryption issue, one of which also leads to better security.
