Secure error-correcting (SEC) schemes for network coding through McEliece cryptosystem

The McEliece cryptosystem based on rank-metric codes is presented to offer both security and error-correction simultaneously in random network coding system. In the multicast network, the original messages are encoded with McEliece cryptosystem based on Gabidulin codes. Key distribution will be done one time. The rank codes decoding is performed in the sink. As long as $t < {d_R}\left( C \right) /2, the decoding is guaranteed, where t is the...
