Complementary Dual Codes for Counter-measures to Side-Channel Attacks
We recall why linear codes with complementary duals (LCD codes) play a role in counter-measures to passive and active side-channel analyses on embedded cryptosystems. The rate and the minimum distance of such LCD codes must be as large as possible. We investigate primary constructions of such codes, in particular with cyclic codes, specifically with generalized residue codes, and we study their idempotents. We study those secondary constructions which preserve the LCD property, and we characterize conditions under which codes obtained by puncturing, shortening or extending codes, or obtained by the Plotkin sum, can be LCD
New binary and ternary LCD codes
LCD codes are linear codes with important cryptographic applications.
Recently, a method has been presented to transform any linear code into an LCD
code with the same parameters when it is supported on a finite field with
cardinality larger than 3. Hence, the study of LCD codes is mainly open for
binary and ternary fields. Subfield-subcodes of -affine variety codes are a
generalization of BCH codes which have been successfully used for constructing
good quantum codes. We describe binary and ternary LCD codes constructed as
subfield-subcodes of -affine variety codes and provide some new and good LCD
codes coming from this construction
Euclidean and Hermitian LCD MDS codes
Linear codes with complementary duals (abbreviated LCD) are linear codes
whose intersection with their dual is trivial. When they are binary, they play
an important role in armoring implementations against side-channel attacks and
fault injection attacks. Non-binary LCD codes in characteristic 2 can be
transformed into binary LCD codes by expansion. On the other hand, being
optimal codes, maximum distance separable codes (abbreviated MDS) have been of
much interest from many researchers due to their theoretical significant and
practical implications. However, little work has been done on LCD MDS codes. In
particular, determining the existence of -ary LCD MDS codes for
various lengths and dimensions is a basic and interesting problem. In
this paper, we firstly study the problem of the existence of -ary
LCD MDS codes and completely solve it for the Euclidean case. More
specifically, we show that for there exists a -ary Euclidean
LCD MDS code, where , or, , and . Secondly, we investigate several constructions of new Euclidean
and Hermitian LCD MDS codes. Our main techniques in constructing Euclidean and
Hermitian LCD MDS codes use some linear codes with small dimension or
codimension, self-orthogonal codes and generalized Reed-Solomon codes
Constructions of optimal LCD codes over large finite fields
In this paper, we prove existence of optimal complementary dual codes (LCD
codes) over large finite fields. We also give methods to generate orthogonal
matrices over finite fields and then apply them to construct LCD codes.
Construction methods include random sampling in the orthogonal group, code
extension, matrix product codes and projection over a self-dual basis.Comment: This paper was presented in part at the International Conference on
