SUMMARY:Crypto Reading Group - Mojtaba Fadavi and Anna Henderson-HQC PKE/KE
 M
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:SPEAKER:\n\n Mojtaba Fadavi and Anna Henderson\n\nAFFILIATION:\
 n University of Waterloo\n\nLOCATION:\n MC 5417\n\nABSTRACT:\n\nThis sess
 ion is devoted to the HQC cryptosystem itself\, in both its\npublic-key en
 cryption and key-encapsulation forms. We will explain how\nthe scheme work
 s\, describe its main components and design choices\, and\ndiscuss the cor
 responding security analysis\, including comments on the\npost-quantum set
 ting. By this stage\, the reading group should have\nenough background to 
 appreciate both the structure and the rationale\nof HQC. \nReferences: [1]
