Open topics

  • Title: Analyzing attacks against code-based signatures (Master thesis)
    Description: Three signature schemes based on codes were submitted to the NIST PQC standardization process. During the first round, all of these submissions have been broken. The goal of this thesis is identify design mistakes made in the development of these signature schemes by analyzing the attacks and looking for similarities and differences.
