Paper 2021/1653
A Note on Non-Interactive Key Exchange from Code Equivalence
Lindsey Knowles and Edoardo Persichetti and Tovohery Randrianarisoa and Paolo Santini
Abstract
A recent paper by Zhang and Zhang claims to construct the first code-based non-interactive key exchange protocol, using a modified version of the Code Equivalence problem. We explain why this approach is flawed, and consequently debunk this claim. A simple Magma script confirms our results.
