Public-Key Encryption from the MinRank Problem
摘要
We construct a public-key encryption scheme whose security follows from the hardness of the (planted) MinRank problem over uniformly random instances. This corresponds to the hardness of decoding random linear rank-metric codes. In contrast, existing constructions of public-key encryption from such problems require the hardness of decoding specific families of structured codes. Central to our construction is the development of a new notion of duality for rank-metric codes.
