A New Class of Q-Ary Codes for the McEliece Cryptosystem

The McEliece cryptosystem is a promising candidate for post-quantum public-key encryption. In this work, we propose <i>q</i>-ary codes over Gaussian integers for the McEliece system and a new channel model. With this one Mannheim error channel, errors are limited to weight one. We invest...
