  • Chapter: Large primes in stream cipher cryptography
    Kencheng Zeng, C. H. Yang, T. R. N. Rao
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: The present research is motivated by the observation that if the period T of a certain binary sequence is a prime, then its linear complexity will be bounded from below by the order of 2 modulo T, i.e., LCOrd T(2). A class of generators with state periods T(q, n)=q2n–1 are constructed for q=3, 5, 7, 9 and arbitrary n on the basis of a pair of m-sequence generators with the same number of stages, each controlling the clock of the other (bilateral stop-and-go clock control). A new test is derived to find the primes among the numbers T(q, n) with the cases 3 | q and 3 | q treated in a unified manner. The orders of 2 modulo some of the primes T(q, n) are given and some additional cryptographic and implementational remarks are made.

  • Chapter: A class of algebraic geometric codes from curves in high-dimensional projective spaces
    G. L. Feng, T. R. N. Rao
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Most of the research work in the area of algebraic geometric (AG) codes deals with the construction of AG codes from plane algebraic geometric curves. But, some work pertains to the construction of the AG codes from non- planar algebraic geometric curves. However, longer AG codes must have relatively larger genus and should only be the codes constructed from non- planar curves. In this paper, we present a new construction of a class of AG codes from curves in high- dimensional projective spaces. For this construction, it is easy to determine the designed minimum distance and find the parity check matrix, and the decoding up to the designed minimum distance is fast. Furthermore, this approach can be easily understood by most engineers.

    Article: Aryabhata Remainder Theorem: Relevance to Public-Key Crypto-Algorithms
    T.R.N. Rao, Chung-Huang Yang
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Public-key crypto-algorithms are widely employed for authentication, signatures, secret-key generation and access control. The new range of public-key sizes for RSA and DSA has gone up to 1024 bits and beyond. The elliptic-curve key range is from 162 bits to 256 bits. Many varied software and hardware algorithms are being developed for implementation for smart-card crypto-coprocessors and for public-key infrastructure. We begin with an algorithm from Aryabhatiya for solving the indeterminate equation a · x + c = b · y of degree one (also known as the Diophantine equation) and its extension to solve the system of two residues X mod mi = Xi (for i = 1,2). This contribution known as the Aryabhatiya algorithm (AA) is very profound in the sense that the problem of two congruences was solved with just one modular inverse operation and a modular reduction to a smaller modulus than the compound modulus. We extend AA to any set of t residues, and this is stated as the Aryabhata remainder theorem (ART). An iterative algorithm is also given to solve for t moduli mi (i = 1, 2,... , t). The ART, which has much in common with the extended Euclidean algorithm (EEA), Chinese remainder theorem (CRT) and Garner's algorithm (GA), is shown to have a complexity comparable to or better than that of the CRT and GA.

    Article: Cryptanalysis of the Hwang-Rao Secret Error-Correcting Code Schemes
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: In this paper, the cryptanalytic strength of two HwangRao Secret Error-Correcting Code (SECC) schemes is examined under a known-plaintext attack. In particular, we found the existence of key information redundancy in all SECCs used in the electronic codebook (ECB) mode. Also, our investigations indicate the existence of synergism in the SECC schemes, that is, the security of SECC (containing three transformations, # and E and P) is much stronger than the individual strength of either # or E or P. 1

  • Article: Construction of Improved Geometric Goppa Codes from Klein Curves and Klein-like Curves
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Linear error-correcting codes, especially Reed-Solomon codes, find applications in communication and computer memory systems, to enhance their reliability and data integrity. In this paper, we present Improved Geometric Goppa (IGG) codes, a new class of error-correcting codes, based on the principles of algebraic-geometry. We also give a reasonably low complexity procedure for the construction of these IGG codes from Klein curves and Klein-like curves, in plane and high-dimensional spaces. These codes have good code parameters like minimum distance rate and information rate, and have the potential to replace the conventional Reed-Solomon codes in most practical applications. Based on the approach discussed in this paper, it might be possible to construct a class of codes whose performance exceeds the Gilbert-Varshamov bound.

    Conference Proceeding: A smartcard-based framework for secure document exchange
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: The advances information and communications technology, especially the Internet, have created the opportunity to improve the administrative efficiency and service quality in governments of many nations. Official documents in Taiwan are traditionally sent to their corresponding recipients through the postal service. It has not been possible to securely transfer official document via the open network using off-the-shelf e-mail systems. We present our work on integrating smartcard-based security services (confidentiality, authentication, and nonrepudiation) into XML-based document exchange systems

  • Article: Reflections on the "Decoding of Algebraic-Geometric Codes up to the Designed Minimum Distance"
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: this paper, the idea of codes from algebraic curves was combined with some recent results from algebraic geometry, to produce a sequence of polynomially constructive error-correcting codes over F q . This led to a new lower bound, the Tsfasman-V ladut-Zink (TVZ) bound, on the information rate of good codes, which is better than the GV bound when q 49. For this paper, the authors received the IEEE Information Theory Group Paper Award in 1983.

    ABSTRACT: Double-byte error-correcting codes over GF(q) were constructed by Dumer (1981, 1988, 1992, 1995), which have the parameters n=q<sup>m-1 </sup>, r&les;2m+[m-1/3], m=2, 3, ..., when q is even, and have the parameters n=q<sup>m</sup>, r&les;2m+[m/3]+1, m=2; 3, ..., when q is odd, respectively. We construct a class of double-byte error-correcting codes over GF(2<sup>i</sup>), which have the following parameters: n=q <sup>m</sup>, r&les;2m+[m/3]+1, m=3, 4, .... So our constructions reduce the code redundancy of Dumer by one symbol, and we eliminate the disparity in code redundancies obtained for even and odd q. A decoding procedure for our codes is also considered

    Article: Generalized Bezout's theorem and its applications in coding theory
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: This paper presents a generalized Bezout theorem which can be used to determine a tighter lower bound of the number of distinct points of intersection of two or more plane curves. A new approach to determine a lower bound on the minimum distance for algebraic-geometric codes defined from a class of plane curves is introduced, based on the generalized Bezout theorem. Examples of more efficient linear codes are constructed using the generalized Bezout theorem and the new approach. For d=4, the linear codes constructed by the new construction are better than or equal to the known linear codes. For d&ges;5, these new codes are better than the known AG codes defined from whole spaces. The Klein codes [22, 16, 5] and [22, 15, 6] over GF(2<sup>3</sup>), and the improved Hermitian code [64, 56, 6] over GF(2<sup>4</sup>) are also constructed

  • Article: The weight hierarchies and chain condition of a class of codes from varieties over finite fields
    Xinen Wu, Gui-Liang Feng, T.R.N. Rao
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: The generalized Hamming weights of linear codes were first introduced by Wei. These are fundamental parameters related to the minimal overlap structures of the subcodes and very useful in several fields. It was found that the chain condition of a linear code is convenient in studying the generalized Hamming weights of the product codes. In this paper we consider a class of codes defined over some varieties in projective spaces over finite fields, whose generalized Hamming weights can be determined by studying the orbits of subspaces of the projective spaces under the actions of classical groups over finite fields, i.e., the symplectic groups, the unitary groups and orthogonal groups. We give the weight hierarchies and generalized weight spectra of the codes from Hermitian varieties and prove that the codes satisfy the chain condition.

    ABSTRACT: Error-correcting or error-detecting codes have been used in the computer industry to increase reliability, reduce service costs, and maintain data integrity. The single-byte error-correcting and double-byte error-detecting (SbEC-DbED) codes have been successfully used in computer memory subsystems. There are many methods to construct double-byte error-correcting (DBEC) codes. In the present paper we construct a class of double-byte error-correcting codes, which are more efficient than those known to be optimum, and a decoding procedure for our codes is also considered.

  • Article: The applications of generalized Bezout's Theorem to the codes from the curves in high dimensional spaces
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: This paper generalizes the previously obtained results to n-dimensional spaces. For n-dimensional spaces, tighter upper bounds on the number of intersection points of two or more polynomials are given. Using the upper bounds, the lower bounds on the minimum distances and the generalized Hamming weights of linear codes defined on the curves in high dimensional spaces are obtained. For large enough h, the exact values of the generalized Hamming weights of linear codes defined on the curves in high dimensional spaces, d(sub h)(C(sub r)), are given. By using the generalized Bezout theorem and the new approach, more efficient linear codes defined on the curves in high dimensional spaces are constructed, which are better than the AG codes and the improved AG codes on the same curves.

    ABSTRACT: In this paper, a general method using the subsets (generating sets) of GF(2<sup>b</sup>) for constructing the SbEC-DED codes will be presented. The constructions given in Fujiwara and Hamada (1992) are special cases of ours. For some values of b, the generating sets used in our constructions are larger than the cosets used in Fujiwara and Hamada (1992). Hence, a larger code length can be obtained
