Introduction to Code-Based Cryptography
Time:
Venue/Location: C101, VIASM
Speaker: Abhay Kumar Singh
Content:Coding Theory plays a very significant role to design a quantum safe public key cryptosystem. Code-based cryptosystems are considered quantum safe because its decoding algorithms are NP hard. Firstly, I will explain some important codes which are useful in design of a code-based cryptosystem. I will also discuss the security analysis of McEliece cryptosystem and Niederreiter cryptosystem. NP hardness in coding theory will also be discussed in brief.
