Title:
Analysis of REDOG: The Pad Thai Attack

Authors: Alex Pellegrini, Marc Vorstermans

Abstract:

This paper introduces the Pad Thai message recovery attack
on REDOG, a rank-metric code-based encryption scheme selected for the
second round of evaluation in the Korean Post-Quantum Cryptography
(KPQC) competition. The attack exploits the low rank weight of a portion of the ciphertext to construct multiple systems of linear equations,
one of which is noise-free and can be solved to recover the secret message.
The Pad Thai attack significantly undermines the security of REDOG,
revealing that its provided security is much lower than originally claimed.
