Summary
This is a report on the McEliece public key cryptosystem based on algebraic geometry codes. In [3, 4] it is explained how a representation (Y, Q, F ) is retrieved efficiently from a generator matrix of the algebraic geometry code CL (X , P, E) for a given curve X , an n-tuple P of points on the curve and a divisor E. This result is not sufficient to obtain a polynomial attack on the public key cryptosystem based on these codes. In [1] a polynomial time attack is given using the idea of an error correcting pair [5]. It runs in O(n4 ) elementary operations in Fq , where n denotes the code length. Compared to previous attacks, it allows to recover a decoding algorithm for the public key even for codes from high genus curves.
Recently the attack was extended to subcodes of algebraic geometry codes [2]. The problem for subfield subcodes of algebraic geometry codes is still open. Joint work with Alain Couvreur, Irene Márquez-Corbella, Edgar Martínez-Moro
and Diego Ruano. See [1, 3, 4].
