  • Abstract
    By using the action of the Frobenius group it is possible to decode far beyond the error-correcting capability of Goppa codes provided the error-vector has a definite structure. In particular cases the generation of these patterns can be easily described and gives a number of decodable patterns numerous enough to avoid enumeration. We show that it is possible to use this property to strengthen the McEliece-type cryptosystems against attacks based on random decoding
