SUMMARY:Crypto Reading Group - Bruce Xu and Maggie Simmons-HQC Implementati
 on\nand Optimisation
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:SPEAKER:\n\n Bruce Xu and Maggie Simmons\n\nAFFILIATION:\n Univ
 ersity of Waterloo\n\nLOCATION:\n MC 5417\n\nABSTRACT:\n\nThis week will 
 cover the implementation and optimization of key\nsub-routines within HQC.
  We will begin by examining the implementation\nof Reed-Solomon decoding w
 ithin HQC\, which includes the BCH-view of\nsyndromes\, weighted Newton's 
 identity\, the Berlekamp-Massey algorithm\,\nand more. We will also discus
 s high-performance polynomial\nmultiplication via the Karatsuba algorithm 
 and hardware optimization. \nReferences: [3] and [4] \n[3] J. Dong\, Y. Ho
