| Abstract: |
This paper presents two modifications for Loidreau's cryptosystem, a rank metric-based cryptosystem constructed by using Gabidulin codes in the McEliece setting. Recently a polynomial-time key recovery attack was proposed to break this cryptosystem in some cases. To prevent this attack, we propose the use of subcodes to disguise the secret codes in Modification I. In Modification II, we choose a random matrix of low column rank to mix with the secret matrix. Our analysis shows that these two modifications can both resist the existing structural attacks. Furthermore, these modifications have a much more compact representation of public keys compared to Classic McEliece, which has been selected into the fourth round of the NIST-PQC project.
