Séminaire AIMS Sénégal

In this talk, I will introduce the notion of code-based cryptography, I will detail the McEliece and Niederreiter schemes and describe some identification (Stern) and signature schemes (CFS) based on hard problems of coding theory namely the syndrome decoding problem. I will conclude my talk with a description of the design of hash-function and stream-cipher based on this hard problem and detail the recent results in this area.
