Complexity of sequences plays an important role in pseudorandom sequences and cryptography. In this paper, we present a construction of sequences with high nonlinear complexity from function fields. The main idea is to make use of function fields with many rational places as well as an automorphism of large order. We illustrate our construction through rational function fields and cyclotomic function fields in which there exist some automorphisms of large order. It turns out that we are able to: 1) slightly increase the length of the inversive sequence without losing nonlinear complexity and 2) obtain sequences with much larger nonlinear complexity than random sequences.

Tang and Ding [IEEE IT 67 (2021) 244-254] studied the class of BCH codes $\mathcal {C}_{(q,q+1,4,1)}$ and their dual codes with $q=2^{m}$ and established that the codewords of the minimum (or the second minimum) weight in these codes support 4-designs or 3-designs. Motivated by this, we further investigate the codewords of the next adjacent weight in such codes and discover more infinite classes of $t$ -designs with $t=3,4$. In particular, we prove that codewords of weight 7 in $\mathcal {C}_{(q,q+1,4,1)}$ support 4-designs for odd $m \geqslant 5$ and they support 3-designs for even $m \geqslant 4$ , which provide infinite classes of simple $t$ -designs with new parameters. Another significant class of $t$ -designs we produce in this paper has complementary designs with parameters 4- $(2^{2s+1}+ 1,5,5)$ ; these designs have the smallest index among all the known simple 4- $(q+1,5,\lambda)$ designs derived from codes for prime powers $q$ ; and they are further proved to be isomorphic to the 4-designs admitting the projective general linear group PGL $(2,2^{2s+1})$ as the automorphism group constructed by Alltop in 1969.

The hull of a linear code is defined to be the intersection of the code and its dual, and was originally introduced to classify finite projective planes. The hull plays an important role in determining the complexity of algorithms for checking permutation equivalence of two linear codes and computing the automorphism group of a linear code. It has been shown that these algorithms are very effective in general if the size of the hull is small. The objective of this paper is to present some sufficient and necessary conditions that linear codes and cyclic codes have one-dimensional hull. It is shown that there are no such binary or ternary cyclic codes. Based on these characterizations, some constructions of linear codes with one-dimensional hull were given by employing quadratic number fields, partial difference sets, and difference sets. We also construct cyclic codes with one-dimensional hull. Some optimal codes with one-dimensional hull are obtained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let $m$ be an arbitrary positive integer and $D_{8m}$ be the dihedral group of order $8m$ , i.e., $D_{8m}=\langle x,y\mid x^{4m}=1, y^{2}=1, yxy=x^{-1}\rangle $. Left ideals of the dihedral group algebra $\mathbb {F}_{2}[D_{8m}]$ are called binary left dihedral codes of length $8m$ , and abbreviated as binary left $D_{8m}$ -codes. In this paper, we give an explicit representation and enumeration for all distinct self-dual binary left $D_{8m}$ -codes. These codes make up an important class of self-dual binary $[8m,4m]$ -codes such that the dihedral group $D_{8m}$ is necessarily a subgroup of the automorphism group of each code. In particular, we provide recursive algorithms to solve congruence equations over finite chain rings for constructing all distinct self-dual binary left $D_{8m}$ -codes and obtain a Mass formula to count the number of all these self-dual codes. As a preliminary application, we obtain the extremal self-dual binary $[{48,24,12}]$ -code and an extremal self-dual binary $[{56,28,12}]$ -code from self-dual binary left $D_{48}$ -codes and left $D_{56}$ -codes respectively.

Locally recoverable (LRC) codes provide ways of recovering erased coordinates of the codeword without having to access each of the remaining coordinates. A subfamily of LRC codes with hierarchical locality (H-LRC codes) provides added flexibility to the construction by introducing several tiers of recoverability for correcting different numbers of erasures. We present a general construction of codes with 2-level hierarchical locality from maps between algebraic curves and specialize it to several code families obtained from quotients of curves by a subgroup of the automorphism group, including rational, elliptic, Kummer, and Artin–Schreier curves. We further address the question of H-LRC codes with availability, and suggest a general construction of such codes from fiber products of curves. Detailed calculations of parameters for H-LRC codes with availability are performed for Reed–Solomon- and Hermitian-like code families. Finally, we construct asymptotically good families of H-LRC codes from curves related to the Garcia–Stichtenoth tower. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Due to wide applications of binary sequences with a low correlation to communications, various constructions of such sequences have been proposed in the literature. Many efforts have been made to construct good binary sequences with various lengths. However, most of the known constructions make use of the multiplicative cyclic group structure of finite field $\mathbb {F}_{2^{n}}$ for a positive integer $n$. It is often overlooked in this community that all $2^{n}+1$ rational places (including “the place at infinity”) of the rational function field over $\mathbb {F}_{2^{n}}$ form a cyclic structure under an automorphism of order $2^{n}+1$. In this paper, we make use of this cyclic structure to provide an explicit construction of binary sequences with a low correlation of length $2^{n}+1$ via cyclotomic function fields over $\mathbb {F}_{2^{n}}$. Each family of our sequences has size $2^{n}-1$ and its correlation is upper bounded by $\lfloor 2^{(n+2)/2}\rfloor $. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first construction of binary sequences with a low correlation of length $2^{n}+1$. Moreover, our sequences can be constructed explicitly and have competitive parameters. In particular, compared with the Gold sequences of length $2^{n}-1$ for even $n$ , our sequences have a smaller correlation and a larger length although the family size of our sequences is slightly smaller.

In this paper, we construct some class of explicit subcovers of the curve $\mathcal {X}_{n,r}$ defined over $\mathbb {F}_{q^{n}}$ by affine equation $y^{q^{n-1}}+\cdots +y^{q}+y=x^{q^{n-r}+1}-x^{q^{n}+q^{n-r}}$. These subcovers are defined over $\mathbb {F}_{q^{n}}$ by affine equation $g_{s}(y)=x^{q^{n}+q^{n-r}}-x^{q^{n-r}+1}$ , where $g_{s}(y)$ is a $q$ -polynomial of degree $q^{s}$. The Weierstrass semigroup $H(P_\infty)$ , where $P_\infty $ is the only point at infinity on such subcovers, is determined for $1 \leq s \leq 2r-n+1$ , and the corresponding one-point AG codes are investigated. Codes establishing new records on the parameters with respect to the previously known ones are discovered, and 108 improvements on MinT tables are obtained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main practical limitation of the McEliece public-key encryption scheme is probably the size of its key. A famous trend to overcome this issue is to focus on subclasses of alternant/Goppa codes with a non-trivial automorphism group. Such codes display then symmetries allowing compact parity-check or generator matrices. For instance, a key-reduction is obtained by taking quasi-cyclic (QC) or quasi-dyadic (QD) alternant/Goppa codes. We show that the use of such symmetric alternant/Goppa codes in cryptography introduces a fundamental weakness. It is indeed possible to reduce the key-recovery on the original symmetric public-code to the key-recovery on a (much) smaller code that has no symmetry anymore. This result is obtained thanks to an operation on codes called folding that exploits the knowledge of the automorphism group. This operation consists in adding the coordinates of codewords which belong to the same orbit under the action of the automorphism group. The advantage is twofold. The reduction factor can be as large as the size of the orbits, and it preserves a fundamental property: folding the dual of an alternant (respectively, Goppa) code provides the dual of an alternant (respectively, Goppa) code. A key point is to show that all the existing constructions of alternant/Goppa codes with symmetries follow a common principal of taking codes whose support is globally invariant under the action of affine transformations (by building upon prior works of Berger and Dür). This enables not only to present a unified view but also to generalize the construction of QC, QD, and even quasi-monoidic Goppa codes. Finally, our results can be harnessed to boost up any key-recovery attack on McEliece systems based on symmetric alternant or Goppa codes, and in particular algebraic attacks.

Using a method for constructing self-dual codes having an automorphism of odd prime order, we classify up to equivalence all binary self-dual codes with an automorphism of order 11 with 6 cycles and minimum distance 12. This classification gives new [72, 36, 12] codes with weight enumerator that was previously not obtained as well as many [66, 33, 12], [68, 34, 12], and [70, 35, 12] codes with new values of the parameters in their respective weight enumerators.
