In this paper an improvement of the McEliece cryptosystem based on QC-LDPC codes is considered. The key idea of the improvement is to use soft-decision decoding algorithm of LDPC codes in decryption ...

Quasi-cyclic (QC) low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes which are known as QC-LDPC codes, have many applications due to their simple encoding implementation by the means of cyclic shift registers. In ...
