A FUZZY COMMITMENT SCHEME WITH MCELIECE'S CIPHER
Deo Brat Ojha and Ajay Sharma
Abstract.In this paper an attempt has been made to explain a fuzzy commitment scheme with McEliece scheme. The efficiency and security of this cryptosystem is comparatively better than any other cryptosystem. This scheme is one of the interesting candidates for post quantum cryptography. Hence our interest to deal with this system with fuzzy commitment scheme. The concept itself is illustrated with the help of a simple situation and the validation of mathematical experimental verification is provided.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 94A60; 94B40; 11T71.
