This work addresses the need for more adaptable cryptographic systems based on coding theory, but it appears incremental as it builds directly on an existing framework.
The paper tackles the problem of creating a secure key encapsulation mechanism (KEM) by extending Persichetti's code-based framework using the McEliece protocol, resulting in a method that enhances flexibility in applying coding theory to cryptography.
In this paper we show that it is possible to extend the framework of Persichetti's code-based framework and create a secure KEM based on the McEliece protocol. This provides greater flexibility in the application of coding theory as a basis for cryptographic purposes.
