DAGS: Key Encapsulation using Dyadic GS Codes

Published in In *Journal of Mathematical Cryptology*, 2018

This paper presents DAGS, a key encapsulation mechanism (KEM) based on dyadic Goppa codes, contributing to the landscape of code-based post-quantum cryptographic proposals.

The DAGS scheme:

  • Is efficient and compact due to the dyadic structure
  • Was submitted to the NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography standardization process
  • Offers security based on the hardness of decoding structured codes

The publication provides algorithmic descriptions, security analysis, and performance benchmarks.
