SUMMARY:Crypto Reading Group - Camryn Steckel-Decoding for Quasi-Cyclic Cod
 es
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:SPEAKER:\n\n Camryn Steckel\n\nAFFILIATION:\n University of Wat
 erloo\n\nLOCATION:\n MC 5417\n\nABSTRACT:\n\nThis session focuses on deco
 ding questions specific to quasi-cyclic\ncodes. We will discuss syndrome d
 ecoding in the quasi-cyclic setting\nand compare generic ISD methods with 
 approaches that exploit\nadditional structure. The goal is to better under
 stand the tension\nbetween efficiency and security\, and to prepare the gr
 ound for the\nstudy of the HQC scheme. \nReferences: [§6.3\, 4]\, [§3\,
