A BKW-style solver for the restricted syndrome decoding problem
摘要
The Restricted Syndrome Decoding Problem (RSDP) is a variant of the well-known syndrome decoding problem. It has recently been turned into a post-quantum signature scheme named CROSS by Baldi et al.. It is a scheme highlighted for being computationally friendly and providing a compact signature and public key size. This paper investigates an Oracle-based definition of the RSDP that has already proved useful in constructing other cryptographic primitives. We propose a new solving algorithm for this novel and interesting problem. Our approach is to first introduce a new weight definition for vectors over
