Folded Gabidulin codes were proposed by Mahdavifar and Vardy in 2012. Beside the code construction an interpolation-based decoding scheme that can correct rank errors beyond the unique decoding radius for low code rates was presented.<br/> In this talk we present an efficient interpolation-based decoding algorithm for folded Gabidulin codes that can correct rank errors beyond half the minimum rank distance for any code rate 0 ? R ? 1. The algorithm serves as a list decoder or as a probabilistic unique decoder and improves upon existing schemes, especially for high code rates. A probabilistic unique decoder with adjustable decoding radius is presented that outputs a unique solution with high probability. An upper bound on the average list size of folded Gabidulin codes and on the decoding failure probability of the decoder is presented.<br/> We show how to modify the decoding algorithm by Mahdavifahr and Vardy to use it as a probabilistic unique decoder for low-rate codes.

    From secure communications to online banking, cryptography is the cornerstone of most modern secure applications. Unfortunately, cryptographic design and implementation is notoriously error-prone, with a long history of design flaws, implementation bugs, and high-profile attacks. To address this issue, several projects proposed the use of formal verification techniques to statically ensure the[…]

    In joint work with Koen de Boer, Aurel Page, and Benjamin Wesolowski, we study the hardness of the approximate Shortest Independent Vectors Problem (SIVP) for random module lattices. We use here a natural notion of randomness as defined originally by Siegel through Haar measures. By proving a reduction, we show it is essentially as hard as the problem for arbitrary instances. While this was[…]

    One of the fundamental hardness assumptions underlying isogeny-based cryptography is the problem of finding a non-trivial endomorphism of a given supersingular elliptic curve. In this talk, we show that the problem is related to the problem of finding a splitting of a principally polarised superspecial abelian surface. In particular, we provide formal security reductions and a proof-of-concept[…]
