Abstract

As quantum computers gradually become a part of our reality, standard security systems will be at risk and new post-quantum security systems are needed. One such system, the Linear Equivalence Signature Scheme (LESS), promises to offer a solution. Since it is a scheme that relies on the hardness of linear equivalence for codes, it has the potential to be secure against classical and possible quantum attacks. In this paper several programs as possible implementations of LESS have been written. We will describe LESS and present the codes that go along with it.
