About
DAGS
DAGS is a Key Encapsulation Mechanism (KEM) that follows the Quasi-Dyadic approach using Generalized Srivastava codes. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first code-based KEM that uses quasi-dyadic structured algebraic codes. The KEM achieves IND-CCA security following the recent framework by Kiltz et al., and features compact public keys and efficient encapsulation and decapsulation algorithms. We modulate our parameters to achieve the most efficient scheme, while at the same time avoiding the FOPT attack.
DAGS is one of the submissions to NIST on the Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization. For more information about the call, follow this link: NIST PQC Standardization.
