parity-check (QC-LDPC) codes, is studied. In principle, such codes can substitute Goppa
codes, originally used by McEliece; their adoption, however, is subject to cryptanalytic
evaluation to ensure sufficient system robustness. The authors conclude that some families
of QC-LDPC codes, based on circulant permutation matrices, are inapplicable in this
context, due to security issues, whilst other codes, based on the" difference families" …
