Coding Theory and Code-based Cryptography SemesterSoSe 2023 Lecturer Juliane Krämer (Fakultät für Informatik und Data Science) Type of course (Veranstaltungsart) Seminar German title Coding Theorie und Code-basierte Kryptographie Contents In this seminar, we study the mathematical theory of codes and their application to cryptography. Code-based cryptography is one of the promising candidates for cryptography in the era of quantum computers. Still, they date back to the first days of modern cryptography, to McEliece and Niederreiter’s encryption protocols. As in the early stage, the protocols were less efficient compared with analogues constructed from number-theoretic assumptions, the code-based protocols have not been in the focus, neither in the research community, nor in applications. The dawn of quantum computers and the algorithms that can break current protocols was a renaissance for code-based cryptography: Since then, the research community works on analyzing the security of existing code-based schemes as well as creating new, more efficient alternatives from codes. Besides their motivation in the application to cryptography, codes are mathematical objects, which makes them interesting to study in their own right. For example, codes can be constructed using methods from algebraic geometry over finite fields, while the analysis of codes can involve linear algebra, algebraic geometry, and ring theory, as well as probabilistic methods for decoding. In this seminar, we cover both these aspects, the mathematical theory as well as applications to cryptography.
