Summary, in English
polynomials over the binary field using coding theoretic methods. The code defined
by the public polynomial is cyclic, allowing an attacker to search for any shift of the
sought codeword. Therefore, a code with higher length and dimension is used, having
a larger number of low-weight codewords. Additionally, since the degree of the sought
polynomial is known, the sought codewords of weight w are transformed by a linear
mapping into codewords of weight w-2. Applying an algorithm for finding low-weight
codewords on the constructed code yields complexity for a key-recovery attack against
TCHo that is lower than previously expected.
