SUMMARY:Crypto Reading Group - Maggie Simmons-HQC Implementation and\nOptim
 ization
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:SPEAKER:\n\n Maggie Simmons\n\nAFFILIATION:\n University of Wat
 erloo\n\nLOCATION:\n MC 6029\n\nABSTRACT:\n\nThis week will cover the impl
 ementation and optimization of key\nsub-routines within HQC. We will begin
  by examining the implementation\nof Reed-Solomon decoding within HQC\, wh
 ich includes the BCH-view of\nsyndromes\, weighted Newton's identity\, the
  Berlekamp-Massey algorithm\,\nand more. We will also discuss high-perform
 ance polynomial\nmultiplication via the Karatsuba algorithm and hardware o
 ptimization. \nReferences: [3] and [4] \n[3] J. Dong\, Y. Hou\, S. Wang\,
