An analysis of the resistance of McEliece CS based on an AG-code to quantum Fourier sampling attack

Pages
120-124

Abstract

This article tests the quantum resistance of McEliece CS based on an AG-code over any elliptic curve. Using the criteria suggested by Dinh, Moore, and Russell [3], the author proves the resistance of this CS to quantum Fourier sampling attack. Thus, Shor’s algorithm cannot identify the group structure of the code and break the CS.
