A New Path to Code-based Signatures via Identification Schemes with Restricted Errors

Marco Baldi, Massimo Battaglioni, Franco Chiaraluce +4

In this paper we introduce a variant of the Syndrome Decoding Problem (SDP), that we call Restricted SDP (R-SDP), in which the entries of the searched vector are defined over a sub…

Constructing Partial MDS Codes from Reducible Curves

Tristram Bogart, Anna-Lena Horlemann-Trautmann, David Karpuk +2

We propose reducible algebraic curves as a mechanism to construct Partial MDS (PMDS) codes geometrically. We obtain new general existence results, new explicit constructions and im…

Equivalence and Characterizations of Linear Rank-Metric Codes Based on Invariants

Alessandro Neri, Sven Puchinger, Anna-Lena Horlemann-Trautmann

We show that the sequence of dimensions of the linear spaces, generated by a given rank-metric code together with itself under several applications of a field automorphism, is an i…

Invariants and Inequivalence of Linear Rank-Metric Codes

Alessandro Neri, Sven Puchinger, Anna-Lena Horlemann-Trautmann

Information Set Decoding in the Lee Metric with Applications to Cryptography

Anna-Lena Horlemann-Trautmann, Violetta Weger

We convert Stern's information set decoding (ISD) algorithm to the ring equipped with the Lee metric. Moreover, we set up the general framework for a McEl…

Random Construction of Partial MDS Codes

Alessandro Neri, Anna-Lena Horlemann-Trautmann

This work deals with partial MDS (PMDS) codes, a special class of locally repairable codes, used for distributed storage system. We first show that a known construction of these co…

t-Private Information Retrieval Schemes Using Transitive Codes

Ragnar Freij-Hollanti, Oliver W. Gnilke, Camilla Hollanti +3

This paper presents private information retrieval (PIR) schemes for coded storage with colluding servers, which are not restricted to maximum distance separable (MDS) codes. PIR sc…

Symbol Erasure Correction Capability of Spread Codes

Heide Gluesing-Luerssen, Anna-Lena Horlemann-Trautmann

We consider data transmission over a network where each edge is an erasure channel and where the inner nodes transmit a random linear combination of their incoming information. We…

A Complete Classification of Partial-MDS (Maximally Recoverable) Codes with One Global Parity

Anna-Lena Horlemann-Trautmann, Alessandro Neri

Partial-MDS (PMDS) codes are a family of locally repairable codes, mainly used for distributed storage. They are defined to be able to correct any pattern of additional erasure…

On the Genericity of Maximum Rank Distance and Gabidulin Codes

Alessandro Neri, Anna-Lena Horlemann-Trautmann, Tovohery Randrianarisoa +1

We consider linear rank-metric codes in . We show that the properties of being MRD (maximum rank distance) and non-Gabidulin are generic over the algebraic closu…

Extension of Overbeck's Attack for Gabidulin Based Cryptosystems

Anna-Lena Horlemann-Trautmann, Kyle Marshall, Joachim Rosenthal

We present a new attack against cryptosystems based on the rank metric. Our attack allows us to cryptanalyze two variants of the GPT cryptosystem which were designed to resist the…

New Criteria for MRD and Gabidulin Codes and some Rank-Metric Code Constructions

Anna-Lena Horlemann-Trautmann, Kyle Marshall

In this work we present a new criterion to check if a given rank-metric code is a maximum rank distance (MRD) code. Moreover, we derive a criterion to check if a given MRD code is…

Message Encoding and Retrieval for Spread and Cyclic Orbit Codes

Anna-Lena Horlemann-Trautmann

Spread codes and cyclic orbit codes are special families of constant dimension subspace codes. These codes have been well-studied for their error correction capability, transmissio…

Decoding of Subspace Codes, a Problem of Schubert Calculus over Finite Fields

Joachim Rosenthal, Anna-Lena Trautmann

Schubert calculus provides algebraic tools to solve enumerative problems. There have been several applied problems in systems theory, linear algebra and physics which were studied…

Spread Decoding in Extension Fields

Felice Manganiello, Anna-Lena Trautmann

A spread code is a set of vector spaces of a fixed dimension over a finite field Fq with certain properties used for random network coding. It can be constructed in different ways…
