Abstract

The problem of learning parity with noise (The LPN problem), which can be re-cast as the problem of decoding a random linear code, has attracted attention recently as a possible tool for developing highly-efficient cryptographic primitives suitable for resource-constrained devices such as RFID tags. This article surveys recent work aimed at designing efficient authentication protocols based on the conjectured hardness of this problem.
