Asymptotically good sequences of linear ramp secret sharing schemes have been intensively studied by Cramer et al. in terms of sequences of pairs of nested algebraic geometric codes [4]-[8], [10]. In those works the focus is on full privacy and full reconstruction. In this paper we analyze additional parameters describing the asymptotic behavior of partial information leakage and possibly also partial reconstruction giving a more complete picture of the access structure for sequences of linear ramp secret sharing schemes. Our study involves a detailed treatment of the (relative) generalized Hamming weights of the considered codes.

Cyclic codes are a subclass of linear codes and have applications in consumer electronics, data storage systems, and communication systems as they have efficient encoding and decoding algorithms. In this letter, a class of four-weight binary cyclic codes are presented. Their weight distributions of these cyclic codes are also settled.

This paper precisely characterizes secret sharing schemes based on arbitrary linear codes by using the relative dimension/length profile (RDLP) and the relative generalized Hamming weight (RGHW). We first describe the equivocation Δm of the secret vector

For a prime p with p≡3 (mod 4) and an odd number m, the Bentness of the p-ary binomial function fa,b(x)=Tr1n(axpm-1)+Tr12 is characterized, where n=2m, a ∈ F*pn, and b ∈ F*p2. The necessary and sufficient conditions of fa,b(x) being Bent are established respectively by an exponential sum and two sequences related to a and b. For the special case of p=3, we further characterize the Bentness of the ternary function fa,b(x) by the Hamming weight of a sequence.

Correlation power analysis (CPA) is a well-known attack against cryptographic modules with which an attacker evaluates the correlation between the power consumption and the sensitive data candidates calculated from a guessed sub-key and known data such as plaintexts and ciphertexts. This paper enhances CPA to propose a new general power analysis, built-in determined sub-key CPA (BS-CPA), which finds a new sub-key by using the previously determined sub-keys recursively to compute the sensitive data candidates and to increase the signal-to-noise ratio in its analysis. BS-CPA also reuses the power traces in the repetitions of finding sub-keys to decrease the total number of the required traces for determining the all sub-keys. BS-CPA is powerful and effective when the multiple sensitive data blocks such as sbox outputs are processed simultaneously as in the hardware implementation. We apply BS-CPA to the power traces provided at the DPA contest and succeed in finding a DES key using fewer traces than the original CPA does.

The generalized Hamming weight played an important role in coding theory. In the study of the wiretap channel of type II, the generalized Hamming weight was extended to a two-code format. Two equivalent concepts of the generalized Hamming weight hierarchy and its two-code format, are the inverse dimension/length profile (IDLP) and the inverse relative dimension/length profile (IRDLP), respectively. In this paper, the Singleton upper bound on the IRDLP is improved by using a quotient subcode set and a subset with respect to a generator matrix, respectively. If these new upper bounds on the IRDLP are achieved, in the corresponding coordinated two-party wire-tap channel of type II, the adversary cannot learn more from the illegitimate party.

A lower bound for the generalized Hamming weight of linear codes is proposed. The proposed bound is a generalization of the bound we previously presented and gives good estimate for generalized Hamming weight of Reed-Muller, some one point algebraic geometry, and arbitrary cyclic codes. Moreover the proposed bound contains the BCH bound as its special case. The relation between the proposed bound and conventional bounds is also investigated.

In this paper, we propose a lower bound for the minimum distance of [n,k] linear codes which are specified by generator matrices whose rows are k vectors of a given sequence of n linearly independent vectors over a finite field. The Feng-Rao bound and the order bound give the lower bounds for the minimum distance of the dual codes of the codes considered in this paper. We show that the proposed bound gives the true minimum distance for Reed-Solomon and Reed-Muller codes and exceeds the Goppa bound for some L-type algebraic geometry codes.

Power exponentiation is an important operation in modern cryptography. This operation can be efficiently calculated using the concept of the addition chain. In this paper, two new systematic methods, a Run-length method and a Hybrid method, are proposed to generate a short addition chain. The performance of these two methods are theoretically analyzed and it is shown that the Hybrid method is more efficient and practical than known methods. The proposed methods can reduce the addition chain length by 8%, in the best case, compared to the Window method.

In this paper, we introduce a lower bound for the generalized Hamming weights, which is applicable to arbitrary linear code, in terms of the notion of well-behaving. We also show that any [n,k] linear code C over a finite field F is the t-th rank MDS for t such that g(C)+1 t k where g(C) is easily calculated from the basis of Fn so chosen that whose first n-k elements generate C. Finally, we apply our result to Reed-Solomon, Reed-Muller and algebraic geometry codes on Cab, and determine g(C) for each code.

In this paper, we give lower bounds for the generalize Hamming weights of linear codes constructed on affine algebraic varieties. By introducing a number g*, which is determined by a given affine variety, we show that when the order t of generalized Hamming weights is greater than g*, the proposed lower bound agrees with their true generalize Hamming weights. Moreover, if we use the notion of well-behaving, we can obtain a more precise bound. Finally, we compare the proposed bound and the conventional one for algebraic geometric code on the curve Cab.
This paper investigates some Z4 codes formed as the Z4-analog (Hensel lifting) of the binary BCH construction. Such codes with length 105 and dimension 13 have been constructed. They are described with their parameters. Some examples of their generator polynomials are given when Hamming weight and Lee weight are different.
