In this work, we provide a comprehensive survey of the code equivalence problem and its variants. We explain the existing results, highlighting the relationships between different problem formulations, algorithmic techniques, and hardness assumptions. In addition, we systematically review known attacks, identify the parameter regimes in which they are effective, and discuss their limitations. Lastly, we outline several open problems and research directions, with the aim of clarifying the current landscape and guiding future work toward a deeper understanding of the hardness of code equivalence.

摘要

In this work, we provide a comprehensive survey of the code equivalence problem and its variants. We explain the existing results, highlighting the relationships between different problem formulations, algorithmic techniques, and hardness assumptions. In addition, we systematically review known attacks, identify the parameter regimes in which they are effective, and discuss their limitations. Lastly, we outline several open problems and research directions, with the aim of clarifying the current landscape and guiding future work toward a deeper understanding of the hardness of code equivalence.
