O článku:
It is known that a naive implementation of the decryption algorithm in the McEliece cryptosystem allows an attacker to recover the secret matrix $P$ by measuring the power consumption. We demonstrate that a similar threat is present in the QC-LDPC variant of the McEliece cryptosystem. We consider a naive implementation of the decryption algorithm in the QC-LDPC McEliece cryptosystem. We demonstrate that this implementation leaks information about positions of ones in the secret matrix $Q$. We argue that this leakage allows an attacker to completely recover the matrix $Q$. In addition, we note that the quasi-cyclic nature of the matrix $Q$ allows to accelerate the attack significantly.
