英文摘要Hamming quasi-cyclic (HQC) cryptosystem, proposed by Aguilar Melchoret al., is a code-based key encapsulation mechanism (KEM) submitted for the NIST standardisation process of post-quantum cryptography (PQC). Under the assumption that thes-decision quasi-cyclic syndrome decoding (s-DQCSD) problem is hard fors = 2 and 3, HQC, viewed as a public-key encryption scheme, is proven to be indistinguishability under chosen plaintext attack (IND-CPA) secure, and can be transformed into an IND-Adaptive chosen ciphertext attack secure KEM. However, the authors will show that thes-DQCSD problem is actually not intractable and HQC cannot attain IND-CPA security with all the proposed parameter sets. As HQC was selected as one of the second-round candidates by NIST, it was also updated to resist attack. The underlyings-DQCSD problem was replaced by thes-DQCSD with a parity problem and they claimed that the updated HQC could attain IND-CPA security under the hardness of the new problem. However, they find that there is some flaw in their security proof and the updated HQC is still vulnerable to attack. To fix it, they define a new problem calleds-DQCSD with variable weight and present revised scheme HQC-beta, which finally attains the IND-CPA security under the hardness assumption of the new problem.
